Record two weeks of morning and evening blood pressure readings on one page, with columns for systolic, diastolic and pulse, plus the categories and measuring tips printed at the bottom.
People asked by their doctor to monitor blood pressure at home, anyone starting or changing blood pressure medication, and caregivers keeping a record for someone else.
The top number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart beats; the bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure between beats. A reading of 120/80 means systolic 120 and diastolic 80.
The American Heart Association classes below 120/80 as normal for adults. Your doctor may set a different target for you, so there is a space to write it on the sheet. Contact your doctor right away if readings are above 180/120.
A common approach is two readings a minute apart, morning and evening. Write both or their average, and follow any schedule your doctor gave you.
