Blood Pressure Review

Read This First

Before taking your blood pressure, please read the official guidance on how to measure your blood pressure correctly at BIHSOC: Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Explained

Record your blood pressure for 7 days in a row. On each day, record your blood pressure in the morning and in the evening. Morning means between 06:00 and noon and Evening means between 18:00 and midnight. On each occasion take at least 2 readings, leaving at least a minute between each. If the first two readings are very different, take 2 or 3 further readings.

You don’t need to record your heart rate more than once, unless you have been asked to.

You may find the BIHSOC: Home Blood Pressure Diary helpful for writing down your blood pressures as you go. Then use this form for sending your readings to us.
