Blood Pressure Checkup

 

A Blood Pressure checkup test may be performed as part of a routine doctor’s visit or as a screening for high blood pressure (hypertension). Some people use a blood pressure test at home to better track their heart health. Maintaining healthy blood pressure is important because high blood pressure is a risk factor for diseases such as heart attack, kidney failure, and stroke.

Fastaid is a leading diagnostic centre in India. Here at Fastaid, we would like our customers to be aware of the facts about blood pressure, as maintaining healthy blood pressure can be key to maintaining a healthy life. A sudden drop in blood pressure in people of all ages could also be dangerous, as the body may not recover from the initial shock. High blood pressure or hypertension, if left untreated, can lead to heart attack, stroke vascular disease, and kidney failure

You can get your blood pressure checked at our diagnostic centre if you think you could be at risk of high blood pressure or if you have not had it checked in a while. You do not need to schedule an appointment, and our diagnostic centre has private consultation rooms where you may get your blood pressure checked and talk to a healthcare professional about the results.
