May is National High Blood Pressure Month

Almost one-third of people with high blood pressure don’t even realize they have this potentially dangerous condition.  In fact, most people have high blood pressure for years going unnoticed.

Having High Blood Pressure is often called the "Silent Killer" which can lead to:

  • Stroke
  • Heart Attack
  • Heart Failure
  • Kidney Failure
This is why May is awareness month for High Blood Pressure.  The only way to find out if you have High Blood Pressure is to get tested in a doctor's or dentist's office, hospital clinic, school, nurse's office, company clinic or at a health fair.

So go get checked out before it's too late.  Stay Safe & Healthy!
