Your blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of your overall health, and keeping it in check couldn’t be easier. A quick and simple test at Garveys Pharmacy will let you know if your levels are within a healthy range, giving you peace of mind or the chance to take action if needed.
Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: systolic pressure, which is the force when your heart beats, and diastolic pressure, which is the force when your heart rests between beats. An ideal reading is typically around 120 over 80 millimetres of mercury, though age, stress, diet and lifestyle can all influence your numbers. Regular checks help you stay informed and catch any issues early.

If you have high blood pressure or are at risk, our 24-hour blood pressure monitoring service is a smart and simple way to get a more complete picture of your heart health. This service is non-invasive, easy to use and available now at Garveys Pharmacy for just €40.
Our 24-hour monitor tracks your blood pressure throughout the day and night, helping you and your GP understand how your body responds to daily activities, rest and sleep.
How it works:
One of our pharmacists will fit a comfortable cuff on your upper arm and set up the device. Over the next 24 hours, it will automatically record your blood pressure at regular intervals. When you return, we download your results and provide a full overview of your readings.
Why choose 24-hour monitoring?
It allows you to identify patterns in your blood pressure that might be missed during a one-time check. It also gives your doctor the information they need to tailor your treatment plan and helps you understand how stress and lifestyle may be affecting your numbers in real time.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, often has no obvious symptoms but can put significant strain on your arteries and vital organs, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Low blood pressure, or hypotension, while less common, can cause dizziness and fainting, potentially leading to injury.
Regular blood pressure checks are recommended for everyone, especially:
Even if you feel healthy, you could have elevated blood pressure, making regular checks essential. Early detection is key, as hypertension can be managed with lifestyle changes, and, if needed, medication prescribed by your GP or pharmacist.
