Free interactive tool
Record morning and evening blood pressure, calculate an average excluding day one, and print a diary for your doctor. Free and private.
What you need: A validated upper-arm BP monitor and your actual readings
For adults aged 18 and over. If pregnant or recently postpartum, use your maternity clinician’s monitoring plan instead. Use a validated upper-arm monitor with the correct cuff. Rest quietly for 5 minutes; sit with your back and arm supported, feet flat, cuff on a bare arm, and do not talk.
Take two readings at least one minute apart, morning and evening, for 7 days (at least 4 days if 7 is not possible). Keep day one in the diary; it is excluded only from the average. Record actual readings, not an estimate.
Do not wait for a diary if you feel seriously unwell
Chest pain, severe breathlessness, new weakness/numbness, speech or vision changes, or confusion need emergency assessment immediately—even without a high BP reading. Do not delay emergency care to take another reading.

Bring the monitor, diary, current medicines and previous reports to your visit. A clinician may check technique, repeat measurements or arrange ambulatory monitoring. This tool does not send your diary or book a consultation automatically.
