A mum who was told she was a ‘ticking time bomb’ is urging others to check their blood pressure. Denise Davison from County Down in Northern Ireland was admitted to hospital with dangerously high blood pressure.
The mother was then given a warning from doctors after attending an event and getting checked with the Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS), who were present and offering blood pressure tests, reports Belfast Live.
The 55-year-old woman who considers herself to be fit and healthy, as being part of a running club, walking her dog and doing strength conditioning classes are a regular part of her life. But she was told she was close to having a major health event before her blood pressure check.
