Info

What this tool does

The Blood Pressure Tracker helps you record readings (systolic, diastolic, and heart rate) with date and time, so you can monitor trends and share a clean summary with your clinician. It follows common adult categories for quick context.

BP varies throughout the day—track at consistent times for clearer trends.

Before measuring

  • Sit quietly for 5 minutes, feet flat, back supported.
  • Use the correct cuff size; place it on a bare upper arm.
  • Arm supported at heart level; avoid talking during the reading.
  • No caffeine, smoking, or exercise for 30 minutes prior.

Tip: Take two readings, 1–2 minutes apart, and record the average.

List

What each field means

  • Date & Time: When the measurement was taken.
  • Systolic (SYS): Pressure when the heart beats (top number).
  • Diastolic (DIA): Pressure between beats (bottom number).
  • Heart Rate (HR): Beats per minute—optional but useful context.
Table

Blood pressure categories

Category
Definition
Normal
SYS < 120 and DIA < 80
Elevated

Hypertension Stage 1
SYS 130–139 or DIA 80–89
Hypertension Stage 2
SYS ≥ 140 or DIA ≥ 90
Hypertensive Crisis
SYS ≥ 180 or DIA ≥ 120

Ranges are general adult guidance. A clinician may set different targets for you.

Frequently asked questions

Which number matters more—systolic or diastolic?

Both are important. In many adults, higher systolic pressure is a stronger risk marker, but your clinician will interpret both in context.

How many readings should I take?

Take two readings, 1–2 minutes apart, and use the average. Track morning and evening for 1–2 weeks for a reliable picture.

What if I get a crisis value?

Readings at or above 180/120 mmHg can be a medical emergency. Follow your care plan and seek urgent guidance.
