Blood pressure in Stockton-on-Tees.
Stockton-on-Tees local authority · 2 cards
Diagnosed high blood pressure on GP registers in Stockton-on-Tees — 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 36,653 Stockton-on-Tees GP patients have it diagnosed, and modelling suggests roughly 14,091 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.
