  1. What high blood pressure is and how it can affect you

  2. Understand what causes high blood pressure and how you can lower it

We've interviewed a wide range of experts who'll give you the information you need to take control.

Our mission at The Sound Doctor is to improve the quality of life for people with long-term mental and physical health problems by educating them, their carers and their healthcare professionals about the most effective ways of managing their conditions.

Our vision is to bring practical, effective and credible information together in one place that will treat long term health as a complex and interconnected web of conditions and recognise that people with one condition may have other pressing needs.
