Around a third of adults in the UK have high blood pressure, although many will not realise it.The only way to find out if your blood pressure is high is to have your blood pressure checked. Adults over 40 are advised to get their blood pressure checked every 5 years. If your blood pressure is high you are at risk of developing certain diseases and can be a sign of more serious issues like obesity. Medication such as Atenolol tablets can help reduce your blood pressure.
Common causes of high blood pressure include age (the risk of developing high blood pressure increases as you get older), a family history of high blood pressure, being of African or Caribbean origin, a high amount of salt in your food, lack of exercise, being overweight, regularly drinking large amounts of alcohol, smoking, long-term sleep deprivation and long term health conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease and lupus.
High blood pressure is a common condition that can be treated with lifestyle changes such as losing weight and staying active. For many people this is paired with specific medication that can help reduce blood pressure.
High blood pressure can be prevented by staying fit and healthy, if you are worried about high blood pressure contact your doctor or GP who will be able to test your blood pressure.
