Using the Blood Pressure Chart
The Blood Pressure Chart can be a great aid in gaining control over your blood pressure, and ultimately your health.
- Enter your target blood pressure (this should be given to you by your doctor or caregiver).
- Next, each time you take your blood pressure, use the printable blood pressure log to simply fill in the date, time, pressure readings and any notes.
- Finally, create a visual representation of your blood pressure readings over time using the spreadsheet to enter the dates, times, SBP, and DBP. You might want to update this once a week or every other week. This chart will help you to quickly see trends.
Medicine, herbal remedies, caffeine, exercise, diet and many other things can affect your blood pressure. Make sure to track these things in the notes next to your blood pressure entries. This may help you see what kind of affect they have.
