What the petition asks
Give people who have to take high blood pressure tablets or/and high cholesterol tablets exemptions cards and make them free on the NHS
With the rising costs of living people are having to make cuts. As someone who suffers with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, I am constantly being told I am at risk of stroke, heart attack, going blind if I do not take my tablets. However with the rising cost of living I am going to have to make some cuts and may not be able to afford my tablets.
I am 28, not overweight, active and healthy. I have full investigations and they can’t work out what is causing my conditions.
