Blood pressure in Brighton and Hove.
Brighton and Hove local authority · 2 cards
Diagnosed high blood pressure on GP registers in Brighton and Hove — plus the thousands living with it unknown.
Plain-English context
High blood pressure (hypertension) rarely has symptoms but drives heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease. About 35,182 Brighton and Hove GP patients have it diagnosed, and modelling suggests roughly 18,852 more adults have it without knowing. Register figures are not age-adjusted — and a lower register number can mean under-diagnosis, not better health. A free pharmacy or GP check takes minutes.
