Your next steps
Confirm your monitoring plan
Ask your care team when to check, how to record your readings, and how to share them. Have them write any personal target and contact instructions on your worksheet.
Learn the technique
Read the blood pressure guide in this toolkit and ask your care team to check your monitor, cuff fit, and technique.
Keep your readings together
Use the printable log and bring it, along with your monitor if requested, to your next appointment.
Questions you can ask
- Does this monitor and cuff fit me?
- Can you watch me take a reading?
- How should I share my log?
- What should I do about a concerning reading?
- What if I cannot get a monitor?
Let your care team know if cost, transportation, language, supplies, or unclear instructions make a step difficult.
