Blood Pressure Monitoring Ross pharmacy considers very important to provide for its customers the service of blood pressure monitoring. This is due to the dangerous effects of the high blood pressure to the human body and its lack of manifestation.  While the low blood pressure may be detected with dizziness or faintness during the process of rapid standing up the high blood pressure shows no visible symptoms. Due to this lack of symptoms and signs as well as to the damages the high blood pressure inflicts to the heart and the brain such as heart attack, heart failure and stroke to mention just few it has been called the “silent killer.”  We should also consider the results of research conducted by the Blood Pressure Association which shows that in the UK “one in every three women and two in every five men now have high blood pressure, with larger numbers affected in older age groups.” (Your Blood Pressure-the Facts © Blood Pressure Association 2005) Thus the conclusion of BPA that “all adults should have their blood pressure checked at least once every five years but preferably more often” should be taken seriously. (Ibid.) Therefore, Ross pharmacy provides the necessary equipment and service for blood pressure monitoring understanding that earlier the high blood pressure is diagnosed sooner the treatment may begin.
