Blood Pressure Log Spreadsheet

About this template

This blood pressure log is for anyone asked to take readings at home, whether for a couple of weeks before a treatment decision or every year at a review. Each day's numbers go on one row, and the workbook turns them into averages, comparisons and a page you can hand over.

Home readings often end up on scraps of paper. Kept here, they show the trend over months and what tends to move it.

Please read: This is a tracker tool only, not financial, tax, legal, medical or any other professional advice or advisory service. It records and calculates what you enter; you are solely responsible for checking all figures, rates, dates and results and for every decision you make. By purchasing, downloading or using it, you accept these terms (your statutory consumer rights are not affected).

One row a day

• Room for 300 days of systolic, diastolic, pulse and weight, the four numbers a review asks about
• A high-reading threshold you set yourself, with high readings counted and colored
• The last 30 days against the 30 before

What pushes it up, in mmHg

Tick up to six things each day, such as a salty meal, a stressful day or coffee before the reading, and rename them to suit you. The Correlations tab compares your average on days each one happened against days it did not, in mmHg. In the worked example a salty meal adds 6.5 and a walk takes 6.7 off.

Before and after every dose change

Set a window on Setup and each medication gets the average for the period before it started and the period after. That is a fair way to see whether a change coincided with lower readings, and it makes the Medications tab a useful medication log to bring to an appointment.

Appointments, results and the report

• Appointments: what was said, and what to ask next
• Results: bloods against the range your lab printed
• Report: the last thirty days against the thirty before, the factors ranked and the bloods in range, on one printed page
• Eleven connected tabs: Start Here, Setup, Daily Log, Readings, Correlations, Medications, Appointments, Results, Monthly, Report and Dashboard

The worked example follows a year from diagnosis across 261 days: 152/94 on home readings in March, two dose changes and a second medicine, and 128/79 at the annual review. A blank copy is ready to use as your own bp tracker, pulse log and hypertension log, with systolic diastolic pairs on every row.

This is a spreadsheet, not a medical device. It does not diagnose anything and it is not a substitute for advice from your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work in Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes. You download Excel workbooks for Excel 2016 or later on Windows and Mac, and the instruction guide has one-click links to make your own copy in Google Sheets with a free Google account.

What do I record each day?

Systolic, diastolic, pulse and weight, plus up to six things you tick, such as a salty meal or a walk, which you can rename.

Can I set my own high-reading level?

Yes. You set the high-reading threshold yourself, and readings above it are counted and colored.

Can I see whether a medication change made a difference?

You set a window on Setup, and each medication gets the average for the period before it started and the period after. It shows the numbers; decisions stay with your doctor.

Is there a report to take to my appointment?

Yes. The Report tab prints the last thirty days against the thirty before, with the factors ranked and the bloods against range, on one page.
