According the NHS, around 1\/3rd of British adults have high blood pressure; with many not realising they have it.

Simply call to check availability and book your appointment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What is blood pressure? And what does it mean when it is high?<\/h2>\n<p>Blood pressure is the measure of force the blood is travelling around the body from the heart. It is given as two values e.g. 140 over 90, the first number is the systolic pressure (heart pushing blood out), and the second is diastolic pressure (when you heart rests between beats). The press is measured in mmHg, or millimetres of mercury.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ideal blood pressure is in the range between 90\/60 and 120\/80mmHg.<\/li>\n<li>High value is 140\/90 or higher.<\/li>\n<li>Low value is 90\/60 or lower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Blood pressure is partly genetic, but mostly comes down to lifestyle factors like diet and alcohol intake, fitness levels, daily stress\/job and being overweight.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not exercise, spend lots of the day sedentary, drinking lots of alcohol and have a bad diet high in low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol) \u2013 these factors will all lead to the arteries clogging up, and the narrowing of the tubes which make it harder for the blood to travel through them. This means blood pressure will be increased to maintain the flow rate, which places strain on the arteries themselves, capillaries, and the heart.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>How TenClinical can help<\/h2>\n<p>Call\/email\/book here for your free blood pressure check up at one of Ten\u2019s London clinics.<\/p>\n<p>If you are worried about your blood pressure, or simply want to know what yours is then get in contact and from 7-13th September we will test your blood pressure for free.
