Patient Resource: Blood Pressure Log Sheet

Controlling your blood pressure is important for keeping your kidneys and heart healthy. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may ask you to check your blood pressure at home and keep track of your results. Healthmap Solutions has created an easy-to-use Blood Pressure Log Sheet to help you and your doctor make sure your blood pressure is staying under control. Remember these helpful tips before checking your blood pressure:

• Test your blood pressure a few times per week at different times of the day.
• Make sure you’re relaxed when checking your blood pressure. Sit still in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Keep your measuring arm at heart level. Sit calmly and avoid talking while the cuff inflates and deflates.
• Avoid smoking, exercising, or drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages within 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure, as these activities can change your blood pressure levels.

Bring this sheet with you to your doctor appointments. If you have questions, call your doctor or reach out to the Healthmap Solutions Care Navigation team at 1-800-481-0474.
