⚕️ This is a record-keeping tool, not medical advice. Category labels follow widely used clinical bands for context only — your doctor interprets your readings. If a reading is very high (180/110 or more) or you feel unwell, seek medical care promptly.
Key takeaways:
A blood pressure log is a dated record of home readings — systolic, diastolic, pulse, and context — that gives your doctor the pattern they actually treat from, rather than one snapshot from a possibly stressful clinic visit. Readings vary constantly with activity, caffeine and time of day, which is exactly why the rolling average matters more than any single number.
Bring the exported PDF or CSV to appointments — a clean, dated table is far more useful to a GP than a verbal "it's been around 130 lately."
A single clinic reading is a snapshot taken on a possibly stressful day — some people measure higher at the doctor's ("white coat" effect) and others lower. A log of properly-taken home readings across days and times gives your GP the pattern they actually diagnose from, which is why the tool shows a rolling average of your recent readings: treatment decisions follow averages, not one-off spikes. Log the details in notes (which arm, after coffee, feeling stressed) — context explains outliers.
Use a validated upper-arm cuff, check its fit, and bring it to a GP visit occasionally to compare against theirs. Blood pressure travels with overall health, so the Weight Journal, Habit Tracker (walking, salt habits) and BMI Calculator are natural companions.
What do the category labels mean?
They follow the widely used clinical bands (optimal under 120/80 up to grade 3 at 180/110+), applying whichever of your two numbers falls in the higher band. They're context, not diagnosis — only your doctor can interpret readings for you.
Why are my readings different each time?
Blood pressure moves constantly with activity, stress, caffeine and time of day. That's normal — and it's exactly why the average across many correct readings is what matters.
Which arm should I use?
Whichever your doctor advises — commonly the arm that reads higher, used consistently. Note the arm in your first entries so the log is comparable.
When should a reading worry me?
If you get 180/110 or higher, rest a few minutes and re-measure; if it stays that high, or you have chest pain, severe headache, vision changes or breathlessness, seek urgent medical care. For anything persistently elevated, book your GP.
Is my health data private?
Yes — readings live only in this browser on this device and are never uploaded. Export the CSV to bring to appointments; it's also your backup.
Can I download or print my blood pressure log for my doctor?
Yes — Print / Save as PDF and Download PDF both produce a dated table of every reading with category labels and your rolling average, exactly the format most GPs want to see.
Can I email my blood pressure readings to my doctor?
Yes — Email opens your mail app with your readings and average pre-filled as text. Attach the downloaded PDF or exported CSV for the complete record.
Is there a printable blood pressure chart by category?
Every downloaded or printed copy includes the category label (Optimal through Very high) next to each reading, so you get the reference bands alongside your own numbers rather than a separate generic chart.
