Blood pressure summary for your doctor

Enter up to 14 days of morning and evening readings. The page counts them, averages them, and prints one summary. It does not decide what the numbers mean for treatment.

What the page adds up

Each completed morning or evening counts as one reading. A day with both is two readings. The overall average, the morning average, and the evening average are arithmetic means. Highest and lowest follow the systolic number. Dates you leave blank are simply omitted from the date line.

What is worth handing over

Name, the dates you actually measured, how many readings, the three averages, and the list. A footnote is for facts only: which arm, seated, before the morning pill — and only if those facts are true. Leave opinions about medication off the page. “I think I need a higher dose” is a conversation, not a header.

What the summary cannot decide

The chart label on the average is the same adult chart used on this site, for education. It is not a reason to change a dose. A single reading higher than 180 systolic or higher than 120 diastolic needs the emergency path even if the two-week average looks milder.

The chart label on the average uses published adult categories: Understanding Blood Pressure Readings (AHA) · Monitoring Your Blood Pressure at Home (AHA)

Questions about the visit summary

What should a blood pressure log for a doctor include?

A date range, how many readings, the overall average, morning versus evening, and the list of numbers with a time of day. Pulse if you have it. One page is enough. Interpretation can wait for the conversation.

How many days should I bring?

Two weeks of morning and evening readings is a common request. This page holds 14 days. If you have less, bring what you have and don’t invent the missing days.

Are my numbers uploaded?

No. The summary is calculated in the browser. Print it or copy it down before you close the tab.

Should I include a reading that looks like a mistake?

If the cuff was on a sleeve or you were talking the whole time, leave that attempt out. If the number is real and just high, include it. Do not delete readings until the average looks the way you hope.
