Atrial fibrillation makes your risk of a stroke five times higher. Therefore, if you have this condition, it is important you get the right treatment – both to control it and to reduce your risk of stroke. #AFawareweek #GlobalAFAwareweek https://www.stroke.org.uk/…/atrial-fibr illation-af-and-stro…

Some people with AF do not have any symptoms, and it may only be discovered at a routine medical examination or following admission to A&E with another condition. The easiest way to detect it is to feel your pulse. #AFawareweek #GlobalAFawareweek https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/atrial-fibr illation/diagnosis/

Take control of your long term health condition this winter and get vaccinated for the flu as you are more likely to develop complications from catching it. Getting the jab sooner rather than later will give you the best protection for the winter – speak with your GP or pharmacist about eligibility and how to get your free flu jab.
