Key takeaways

Important safety checks

Blood pressure, liver disease, heart failure, severe valve disease and other blood-pressure medicines require review. Do not stop long-term treatment solely because a reading improves.

When to seek urgent care

Seek emergency help for crushing chest pain, sudden breathlessness, facial droop, one-sided weakness, speech difficulty, collapse or facial swelling with breathing difficulty.
