"it's often called the silent killer."

Dr Amir Khan has delivered a vital piece of advice for everyone over the age of 40, which he believes could be lifesaving.

Starting the year with realistic expectations rather than grand resolutions might be key, especially when trying to lose weight or make lifestyle changes.

In an Instagram message, Dr Khan said:

“I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions – they are often doomed to failure.

“And you can choose to make healthy small achievable changes to your life at any point in the year – so if you don’t succeed in carrying them on past the first few weeks of January don’t be put off, just try again. But remember to make any goals realistic.”

The GP highlighted the importance of checking blood pressure as individuals celebrate milestone birthdays.

He explained that such monitoring can unveil critical health conditions early, potentially preventing heart attacks.

Dr Khan continued: “If there is one thing I’d recommend it’s buying a home blood pressure machine (to anyone over 40, younger if you have a strong family history) – and monitoring your blood pressure at home.

“Lots of people have high blood pressure and don’t know it – it’s often called the silent killer.

“Undiagnosed or poorly managed blood pressure increases risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, eye disease, and other things so knowing your blood pressure numbers and keeping them at healthy levels is really important.”

Dr Amir Khan also suggested that the ideal time to check your blood pressure is after a person has rested for around 30 minutes in a calm setting.

He added: “Blood pressure will naturally fluctuate throughout the day, so don’t worry if all the readings are not the same – but if your readings are persistently raised then speak to a healthcare professional.

“Readings that average higher than 135-140/85-90 need to be looked at by a healthcare professional.”

“You can help keep your blood pressure healthy by stopping smoking, managing alcohol consumption, eating whole foods, doing regular movement, sleeping well, and managing stress levels.

“So if you haven’t already, make your New Year’s resolution to keep an eye on your blood pressure, keep it healthy and seek medical advice if it is persistently raised.”
