Keep your heart health on track
Maintaining healthy blood pressure helps your heart and circulation work properly.
Blood pressure naturally changes throughout the day as your body responds to different needs. But when it stays consistently higher than normal for a long time, it is known as hypertension. High blood pressure can increase your risk of heart disease, so regular checks are important.
At Star Discount Chemist, we offer FREE blood pressure checks to our customers.
Why blood pressure checks matter
Regular blood pressure checks can help you stay on top of your health and identify concerns early.
It is especially important to have your blood pressure checked regularly as you get older, or if you have risk factors such as:
- A family history of heart disease
- Being overweight
- Lack of physical activity
- Smoking
- High stress levels
- A diet high in salt
