7.6 million people in the UK are living with a heart or circulatory condition.
An estimated five million people are also living with undiagnosed high blood pressure. Also referred to as hypertension, it's known as the silent killer, because it often has no symptoms but leads to heart attacks, strokes and other serious health conditions if left untreated.
That's why we are encouraging you to 'Know Your Numbers' so that you know where you stand and you can take action if you need to.
You'll find lots of information on heart health and blood pressure by visiting the websites of the British Heart Foundation and Blood Pressure UK.
As a guide, if your blood pressure is in the healthy range (129/84mmHg or less) it is recommend you get your blood pressure checked at least every 5 years.
If your blood pressure is on the higher side of normal (between 130/85mmHg and 139/89mmHg) it is recommended that you make lifestyle changes such as those we have suggested above and recheck within a year.
If your blood pressure is high or very high you should follow clinical advice on how often to monitor your blood pressure.
