Is there a chart that can be used to measure blood pressure?

You can obtain blood pressure readings at home using a blood pressure monitor. Alternately, you can get your blood pressure measured by a health care professional. Readings can be tracked over time using a chart, as recommended by the American Heart Association.

Blood pressure can be tracked on the American Heart Association website. After creating an account on the website, follow the instructions to begin tracking. The website allows patients to print readings, which they can then share with their doctors. A physician can analyze the chart, explain what the numbers mean and recommend lifestyle changes to improve blood pressure readings.
