Real-world numbers
Home readings avoid white-coat effects and show your usual pressure.
Add each reading with time, systolic, diastolic and pulse. The log classifies every reading, averages the last 7 and 30 days, compares mornings with evenings and charts the trend you can share with your doctor.

Home readings avoid white-coat effects and show your usual pressure.
Doctors can adjust treatment faster with averages and a trend.
Watch the effect of exercise, salt, sleep or medication changes.
Blood pressure is written as systolic over diastolic in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Systolic is the pressure when the heart beats, diastolic when it rests between beats.
Doctors judge blood pressure on averages of several readings over days or weeks, not on a single value. That is why this tracker focuses on 7 and 30-day averages.
Below 120 and below 80 mmHg.
120-129 systolic, or 130-139 / 80-89.
140+ or 90+ mmHg; talk to your doctor.
Following the American Heart Association: Normal is under 120/80; Elevated is 120-129 systolic with diastolic under 80; Stage 1 is 130-139 or 80-89; Stage 2 is 140 or higher or 90 or higher; above 180 and/or 120 is a hypertensive crisis.
The higher category. For example 128/84 is Stage 1 because the diastolic is 80-89.
Sit quietly for five minutes with your back supported, feet flat and arm at heart level. Take two readings a minute apart, morning and evening, and log both.
Systolic minus diastolic. A typical value is around 40 mmHg; consistently wide values are worth mentioning to your doctor.
No. It is a personal log. A single high reading does not mean hypertension, and readings over 180/120 with symptoms need emergency care.
