When did you last check your blood pressure? Looking after yourself includes prevention

2026-10-30

When you feel well, it is easy to put health checks off until later. Between walks, visits and other plans during your stay in Mallorca, checking your blood pressure can slip to the bottom of the list.

Yet high blood pressure often goes unnoticed: you can have it without experiencing symptoms.

A simple check that provides useful information

Measuring your blood pressure can identify raised readings. A single reading is usually not enough to establish a diagnosis. A healthcare professional may recommend repeating the measurements or keeping a record at home.

Make room for your health in your diary

If you are spending several months on the island, set aside time for any outstanding check-ups. Bringing previous medical reports and readings can make your appointment easier and help you explain your follow-up history.

If you are already receiving treatment

Continue taking your medication as prescribed and seek medical advice before changing it, even if you feel well. Arrange your follow-up checks during your stay with your healthcare team.
