FAQ's

  • How often should I get a blood pressure test?

    The frequency of blood pressure tests depends on your age, health history and risk factors. For most adults, it’s recommended to check blood pressure at least once every two years if previous readings have been normal. 


    However, if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or other risk factors, more frequent checks—such as every six months or even monthly—may be necessary. Regular monitoring helps detect changes early and allows you to take preventive action.

  • What should I expect during a blood pressure test?

    A blood pressure test is a simple, non-invasive procedure that takes only a few minutes. A cuff is placed around your upper arm and inflated to restrict blood flow temporarily. As the cuff deflates, a monitor measures your systolic and diastolic pressure, providing a reading. 


    The test is painless and quick, and results are available immediately. If your reading is outside the normal range, a pharmacist or healthcare provider may discuss lifestyle changes or recommend further medical evaluation.

  • Why is regular blood pressure monitoring important?

    Regular blood pressure monitoring may be essential because high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms but can lead to serious health complications, such as heart disease, kidney problems and stroke. 


    Early detection allows for timely intervention, including lifestyle changes or medication if necessary. Regular checks provide a better understanding of your overall cardiovascular health and help ensure that any issues are addressed before they become more severe.
