Blood pressure testing
High blood pressure (hypertension) not only puts a lot of strain on your arteries but your organs too. As a result, this can increase your risk of developing severe complications, for instance, strokes and heart attacks.
On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) may lead to less serious, but still alarming complications such as fainting and dizziness. Generally, a number of people do not show any obvious symptoms. As a result, blood pressure fluctuations normally go unnoticed. Taking regular blood pressure tests is especially simple, yet it could save your life.
Diabetes Screening
In estimations, more than 3.9 million individuals in the UK have been diagnosed and live with diabetes. We are not only committed to serving you to the best of our ability, but we also offer essential diabetes screening, treatment, and tips for a healthier lifestyle.
There are 2 main kinds of diabetes:
– type 1 diabetes –the body’s immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells
– type 2 diabetes – the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells do not react to insulin
Although Type 1 diabetes develops fast over weeks or even days, Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, almost 90% of all adults have diabetes type 2.
Cholesterol check
It is vital to keep track of your cholesterol levels. The health of your heart may be at risk when you have high cholesterol. However, that doesn’t mean it will show any physical symptoms. If you want peace of mind about your general cardiovascular system, visit our clinic for a private checkup.
Regular screenings and checkups can help to diagnose these conditions earlier and manage their symptoms effectively.
