What's inside

  • A reading log with date, time, systolic, diastolic, pulse, arm and notes
  • Every reading labeled Normal, Elevated, Stage 1, Stage 2 or Crisis using the American Heart Association ranges
  • Weekly averages with the change in your top number from the week before
  • Morning vs evening averages, plus your highest and lowest readings
  • A count of how many readings fall in each category
  • Prints cleanly for your doctor, and works in Google Sheets and Excel

How to use it

  1. Make your copy

    Click "Make a copy" to save the log to your Google Drive, or download the Excel file. Delete the sample readings when you're ready to start.

  2. Measure the same way each time

    Sit quietly for 5 minutes first, feet flat, arm resting at heart level. Use the same arm each time and note it in the Arm column.

  3. Add each reading

    Type the date, the time and the three numbers from your monitor. The When and Category columns fill in by themselves.

  4. Set the first week

    On Weekly Averages, change the first Week of date to the Monday your log starts. The weeks below follow on from it.

  5. Share it with your doctor

    Before an appointment, print the BP Log and Weekly Averages tabs, or share the sheet. Your doctor can see the pattern, not just one reading in the office.

Tips

Take two readings, a minute apart

Many doctors ask for two readings each time. Log both. If the first is much higher, a note helps explain it.

Measure at the same times each day

Morning before coffee or medication, and again in the evening, is a common routine. It makes the morning vs evening averages useful.

Use notes for context

Poor sleep, stress, caffeine, a missed dose or a workout can all shift a reading. A few words now saves trying to remember later.

Don't change medication on your own

If your numbers change, talk to your doctor before changing anything. This log is a record to share, not a diagnosis.

Questions

What are the blood pressure categories?

The American Heart Association uses Normal (under 120 and under 80), Elevated (120 to 129 and under 80), Stage 1 (130 to 139 or 80 to 89) and Stage 2 (140 or higher or 90 or higher). The Categories tab shows the ranges and how many of your readings fall in each.

What if a reading is over 180/120?

The log labels it "Crisis: call doctor". The AHA says to wait a few minutes and measure again, and if it's still that high, contact your doctor right away. If you also have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness or trouble seeing or speaking, call 911.

Is this medical advice?

No. The log only sorts your numbers into the published AHA ranges. Your doctor decides what your readings mean for you, so share the log with them.

How often should I take my blood pressure?

Ask your doctor. A common routine is twice a day, morning and evening, for a week or two before an appointment. The log works with any routine.

Can I print it?

Yes. In Google Sheets go to File > Print and pick the tab you want. In Excel, download the file and print from there.

Is it free?

Yes. Copy it to your Google Drive or download the Excel file. No sign-up, and your readings stay in your own file.
