It's thought that around 30% of people in England have high blood pressure, and many don't even know it.
Though more than half of them are over 60, a large number are younger. Could you be one of them? High blood pressure is common and often has no symptoms.

High blood pressure increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke, but there are things you can do to lower your blood pressure.
