How to Participate

The best way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked, as there are often no warning signs or symptoms to tell you something is wrong.

	1. Check Your Blood Pressure Find free blood pressure screening sites during Love Your Heart Week of Action February 11-19, 2023 using our interactive site map. Or, get your blood pressure checked by making an appointment with your primary care physician or by checking it with a home blood pressure cuff.
	2. Submit Your Results Submit your blood pressure results during Love Your Heart Week of Action or anytime of year. Submission forms in English and Español.
	3. Learn What They Mean Learn about your blood pressure results and what you can do to improve them in our Love Your Heart @ Home Education section. Our goal is to help prevent heart disease and stroke and help YOU take control of your heart health.

Remember to follow-up with your doctor! Make an appointment with your doctor to get your blood pressure re-checked. While you're there, have your home blood pressure cuff calibrated by a nurse to ensure your readings are correct.

COVID-19 and Hypertension

In 2021, high blood pressure was the most common underlying condition identified in San Diego County’s COVID-19-related deaths. Learn more about High Blood Pressure and COVID-19 in English and Español.

Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest? 

People often use these terms interchangeably, but they're not the same. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating.
