Remember your elderly relatives or neighbours it only takes a couple of minutes to check if they are alright!! Have you had your Blood Pressure checked lately? Raised blood pressure is not good for you, it can lead to cardiovascular disease, risk factors for cardiovascular disease are smoking, diabetes, age/sex, family history and raised cholesterol. Remember to get yours checked the next time you come to the surgery, we have an easy to use machine in the waiting room it takes a couple of minutes and will give you a print out of the reading, you can hand this to the Doctor or Nurse at your appointment. Alternatively make an appointment to see June or Maria. Keep your blood pressure under control by eating a healthy diet that is low in saturated fat, exercising regularly, and if required, taking the appropriate medication to lower your blood pressure. Your target blood pressure should be below 150/90. If you have high blood pressure, ask your GP to check your blood pressure regularly.
Health Group Advice Colds—There is still no magic cure for the common cold, go to bed take plenty of drinks. If you have a headache or are feverish take aspirin or paracetamol. Antibiotics will have no effect. Flu—This is an unpleasant illness characterised by high temperatures, aches and pains. The best treatment is plenty of rest and fluids with paracetamol to relieve aches and temperature. Antibiotics have no effect. If you are elderly or have a chronic health problem (eg heart disease, chest disease, or diabetes) we would recommend a flu jab. Flu jabs are still available
Stop smoking Service here at the Esplanade - If you want to stop we can help you and support you to quit, leave your name and contact details with reception, June or Heather will contact you to make an appointment, within 2 –3 wks.
