During my routine health check at work, I was advised to go to A&E right away.

Justine Daly, a fit and healthy woman, received a shocking revelation during a routine health check at her workplace in Belfast. Despite feeling fine, she was told her blood pressure was dangerously high and advised to go to A&E immediately. Justine, who had no symptoms, was taken aback by the news and now wants to raise awareness about the importance of regular health checks.

During the health screening organized by her employer, Justine’s blood pressure reading was off the charts, prompting the health professional to recommend immediate medical attention. Despite having a metabolic age of 40 at 54, Justine’s blood pressure was a cause for concern.

After consulting with her doctor, Justine was prescribed medication to manage her high blood pressure. She emphasized the importance of getting regular check-ups, as high blood pressure can often go unnoticed without any symptoms. Justine’s experience serves as a reminder that health screenings can uncover underlying issues that may not present any warning signs.

Justine’s proactive approach to her health, coupled with the swift action taken by the healthcare professionals, highlights the significance of early detection and intervention.
