#KnowYourNumbers

[Jonathan Higman @jonathanhigman]

Today we are out in various places doing a 24 hour testathon as part of our #KnowYourNumbers campaign. There are 40,000 people in Somerset with high blood pressure who don’t know it, particularly middle aged men like me! @NHSSomerset @SomersetCouncil @NHSEngland

Paul’s life changed in an instant—a stroke left him unable to speak or move one side of his body. His message: "Please, get your blood pressure checked, even if you feel fine."

Don't wait. Take control during #KnowYourNumbersWeek. 💙
