Dr. Amir Khan, a regular on ITV shows like Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, recommends purchasing a home blood pressure monitor for early detection of potential health issues and prevention of heart attacks.
ITV regular Dr Amir Khan, known for his appearances on shows like Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, recommends everyone over 40 buy a home blood pressure machine this year, stating it could save lives. He offers this as a top tip for 2025, acknowledging that ambitious New Year's resolutions often fail, particularly those related to diet or lifestyle changes.
On Instagram, he encourages followers to make small, achievable healthy changes throughout the year, reminding them not to be discouraged by setbacks. He emphasizes monitoring blood pressure, especially after a milestone birthday, as it can help detect serious health issues early, potentially preventing heart attacks. Khan states that many people have high blood pressure without knowing it, often called the 'silent killer.' He explains that undiagnosed or poorly managed blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, eye disease, and other complications. He suggests using a home blood pressure machine (for those over 40, younger if with a strong family history) and monitoring blood pressure at home. The ideal time to take a reading is after resting for 20-30 minutes in a calm setting. Khan adds that blood pressure naturally fluctuates, so don't worry if readings aren't identical. However, persistently high readings should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Readings averaging higher than 135-140/85-90 require medical attention
