| Video Discription | HIGH blood pressure is known as the silent killer, because it can have no symptoms until someone has a stroke, heart attack or heart failure. If people survive these health episodes, they can find themselves living with severe disability, dementia or even heart failure, where the lungs are ‘drowned’ in fluid. One in three people - 16 million people - in the UK are living with high blood pressure and five million people remain undiagnosed. Blood Pressure UK is urging the public to regularly check their blood pressure as it is estimated that by diagnosing these people over the next 10 years, a staggering 45,000 strokes, heart attacks and heart failure could be prevented, saving the NHS more than £1 billion in NHS and social care costs. Professor Graham MacGregor, chairman of Blood Pressure UK said: “Blood pressure is one of the most preventable and treatable conditions and yet it is still one of the leading causes of death in the UK. “Those from poorer backgrounds are worse off. “Having your blood pressure checked is one of the biggest steps that you can take to reduce your risk of stroke, heart attack or heart failure and yet so many millions are taking unnecessary risks with their health. “The simple message is have your blood pressure checked at least once a year.” New research has also revealed that people from the most deprived areas are 30 per cent more likely than the other areas to have high blood pressure, with Wyre Forest, Birmingham, Leeds, and County Durham being among the worst regional hypertension hotspots. Of these town and cities, it is estimated that over half a million people - a total of 567,010 - have undiagnosed high blood pressure. High blood pressure, which can be treated with medication, accounts for more than 12 per cent of all GP consultations in England and costs the NHS over £2 billion a year. Key risk factors for developing high blood pressure are a high intake of salt, obesity, lack of fruit, vegetables and exercise. Katharine Jenner, chief executive of Blood Pressure UK said: “High blood pressure has no symptoms but strokes and heart attacks – when it is too late - do. “After you have had your blood pressure checked, you can make changes to reduce your risk, such as eating less salt, eating more fruit and vegetables, taking more exercise and losing weight – it’s never too late.” Jamie Waterall, national lead for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Public Health England, said: “Getting a blood pressure check is particularly important for people over the age of 40, when cardiovascular risk generally increases. “Going to your NHS Health Check appointment when invited is just one of the ways you can know your numbers and get an idea of your heart health.” Blood pressure: What are the numbers on your reading REALLY telling you?
