Cheshire East residents are being urged to check their blood pressure.

Know Your Numbers! Week is the UK's largest blood pressure testing and awareness campaign, running from today.

Led by Blood Pressure UK, the initiative aims to increase awareness of high blood pressure, a condition that often has no symptoms and can contribute to heart attacks, strokes and other serious health conditions if left unmanaged. 

To support the campaign, Everybody Health and Leisure is reminding residents that self-screening blood pressure machines are available at multiple community and leisure centre locations across the borough.
