What's on the page

How to use it

  1. Measure at about the same times each day, for example before breakfast and before bed.
  2. Sit quietly for five minutes with your back supported, feet flat and the cuff at heart height.
  3. Write the top number (systolic) and bottom number (diastolic) in their columns, and the pulse if your monitor shows it.
  4. Note anything that may affect the reading, such as a missed dose, coffee, exercise or feeling unwell.
  5. Take the sheet to your appointment so your doctor can see the pattern rather than a single reading.

Who it's for

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the two numbers mean?

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.

What is a normal blood pressure?

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.

How many readings should I take?

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.
