Blood pressure in Norfolk.
Norfolk county · 2 cards
Diagnosed high blood pressure on GP registers in Norfolk — 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 173,057 Norfolk GP patients have it diagnosed, and modelling suggests roughly 70,210 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.
