Blood Pressure Checks in Camden Haven

Quick & Painless

Your blood pressure is always changing depending on your body’s requirements. Your blood pressure will automatically adjust to accommodate a range of factors including temperature, sleep, emotional state and your posture. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is important because it can be a risk factor for a number of serious and complex illnesses including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and diabetes.

To get your blood pressure checked, call us at North Haven Pharmacy in Camden Haven.

Have you had your blood pressure checked recently? 

If you’re currently taking blood pressure medication or have a family history of high blood pressure, we always advise getting your blood pressure checked at least once a year. High blood pressure can affect people of all ages. High blood pressure or hypertension is when your blood pressure measures 140/90, even when you’re resting. This can put extra strain on your internal organs, resulting in serious, long-term diseases including coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, loss of vision and diabetes.

Alternatively, low blood pressure or hypotension occurs when your blood pressure measures 90/60 or under. If you have low blood pressure, you may experience light headedness, dizziness, blurred vision, fainting or nausea. Low blood pressure can put immediate risk for the elderly as it increases the risk of falling. We offer blood pressure checks at North Haven Pharmacy.

However, keep in mind many people don’t present with high blood pressure symptoms at all. This is why it’s important to make time to schedule an appointment with our friendly team for a blood pressure check. There are a number of factors that can increase the risk of high blood pressure, including:
