Blood Pressure Monitoring

Your pharmacist can provide personalised advice and support to help you manage your blood pressure effectively. If you are unsure or concerned, or if you would like to monitor your blood pressure, visit your local Neighbourhood Pharmacy for blood pressure testing.

Things to know before your visit

Keeping your blood pressure at a healthy level is important for your overall health. High blood pressure (hypertension) can increase the risk of serious conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. Many people with high blood pressure feel completely well, as it often has no obvious symptoms, which is why regular checks are so important.

  • Your pharmacist will check your blood pressure and heart rate using a blood pressure machine.
  • Your pharmacist will then interpret the test results and offer other educational information based on your readings.
  • If your condition needs further assessment, you may be referred to a doctor or another healthcare professional.
  • This service is not bulk billed and fees may apply.
