Each year, the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Mobile Health Unit provides up to 10,000 free blood pressure checks to communities around Ireland.

64% of people over 50 years old in Ireland have high blood pressure which is a leading cause of stroke,听heart disease听补苍诲听heart attacks.

The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Mobile Health Unit travels around the country offering free heart health checks to members of the public. During a heart health check our expert nurses will check your blood pressure and your pulse and provide heart health information and lifestyle advice.

A pulse check could help detect atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heartbeat which can lead to heart damage or a stroke however you would be advised by our nurses to see your GP for more tests before a diagnosis is made. The good news is that with early diagnosis, atrial fibrillation is treatable. We would encourage people to have a regular pulse check or to learn how to do this themselves.

The 鈥榮ilent killer鈥� that affects almost one million people in Ireland

High blood pressure or聽hypertension聽is the leading risk factor for stroke, heart attack and other serious heart conditions .

High blood pressure is predicted to affect more than 1.2 million people in Ireland by 2020 and often goes undetected as many of those who suffer from high blood pressure often feel fine,鈥� warned, Marese Damery, Health Check Manager with the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播.

Research has shown that only half of people with high blood pressure are aware that they have the condition and we would advise all adults over the age of 30 to have their blood pressure checked at least once a year.
