Hypertension Test

A hypertension (high blood pressure) test is an online screening tool that evaluates your risk of elevated blood pressure. It asks about lifestyle, symptoms, and medical history to indicate whether further checks are advised.

Adults over 40 or those with risk factors—like obesity, family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoking—should consider screening even if symptoms are mild or absent.

Many people with hypertension experience no noticeable symptoms—it is often called the “silent killer.” Some may notice headaches, breathlessness, or chest discomfort.

The test includes questions about your age, weight, family history, lifestyle choices, and any existing health conditions. Results indicate whether further blood pressure measurement is recommended.

Most online hypertension assessments take around 5 to 10 minutes to complete with clear multiple-choice queries.

A reading of 130/80 mm Hg or higher is typically considered high blood pressure. It’s usually diagnosed after multiple elevated measurements taken on separate days.

If the test suggests risk, book an appointment with your GP for official blood pressure measurements, and possibly further tests like ECG, blood work, and lifestyle guidance.
