Many UK adults unaware of high blood pressure risk

About one in three adults in the UK have high blood pressure, but half of them do not know it. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, making regular monitoring important to prevent serious health issues. Recent advancements in at-home blood pressure monitors have made them more accurate and user-friendly. These devices measure blood pressure with a cuff that inflates automatically and displays results digitally. When selecting a monitor, ensure it is validated by the British Hypertension Society for accuracy. Consider the cuff size, ease of use, and power supply options to find a suitable device for regular monitoring.
