Press Release Summary: 40% of UK Adults Have High Blood Pressure, making it the
largest cause of death and disability according to the Blood Pressure Association
(BPA). The First Aid Warehouse is offering some great deals on British Hypertension
Society validated Blood pressure monitors for 2008.

Press Release Body: The BPA's 'Know Your Numbers' week last September saw over
250,000 people volunteering to have their blood pressure checked, revealing the
shocking results.
High blood pressure hot spots include Yorkshire and Humberside, and the West
Midlands, both with 45% of those tested suffering from hypertension.
Dr Mike Mead, GP and medical adviser to the BPA claims that: \"High blood pressure is
a serious health condition. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the biggest cause of
death and disability through the strokes and heart attacks it causes. But this is
preventable.
\"We urge everyone to make it their New Year\'s resolution to have a blood pressure
check and lead a healthier lifestyle to lower their numbers.
\"Looking after your blood pressure is one of the most important things you can do to
improve your current and future health.\"
The First Aid Warehouse is committed to enabling people to monitor their blood
pressure accurately and effectively, only stocking monitors from manufacturers who
have products validated by the British Hypertension Society. These manufacturers
include A&D, Microlife and Omron. First Aid Warehouse is the UK\'s premier supplier
