What the doctor can help with

  • Reviewing a series of home blood pressure readings
  • Your overall heart and stroke risk
  • Lifestyle changes that lower blood pressure
  • Questions or side effects with your medicines, and repeat prescriptions where appropriate
  • Which tests or in-person checks you need

Bring your readings

Take readings twice a day for a few days, sitting quietly, and note them all. Your doctor can tell much more from a set of readings than from one. Use our blood pressure checker to see what a single reading means.

Emergency signs

A reading of 180/120 or higher with chest pain, breathlessness, a severe headache, confusion, weakness or changes in vision needs urgent help — call 112 or 999.

Frequently asked questions

Can high blood pressure be managed online?

Online reviews can help, especially with good home readings, but some checks and blood tests need to be done in person.

What blood pressure is too high?

Readings of 140/90 or higher, when repeated, are usually considered high.
