Safety Warning Issued for Millions Taking Blood Pressure Medication Due to Potential Side Effects
Officials have alerted millions of people taking blood pressure medication about safety concerns. The warning covers medications that could cause dangerous side effects, including serious health issues.
In England, there are over five million individuals who are not diagnosed with high blood pressure, according to Blood Pressure UK. These undiagnosed people are at risk because high blood pressure often shows no signs. This makes it essential for those on blood pressure medication to monitor their health closely.
Experts advise that people on these medications should be vigilant and consult their GP if they notice any unusual symptoms. Public health officials are emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups to manage blood pressure effectively and maintain overall health.
Individuals currently on this medication are urged to stay aware of potential side effects and seek medical advice when necessary.
"This information is crucial for those taking blood pressure medications," said a representative from Blood Pressure UK.
