What is the Blood Pressure Checker?
Enter your blood pressure reading (for example 128/82) to see which category it falls into according to the American Heart Association / ACC guidelines: normal, elevated, stage 1 or stage 2 high blood pressure, or low blood pressure. It also shows pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure.
One reading is not a diagnosis – blood pressure changes during the day. Measure at the same time daily for a week and share the results with your doctor.
How to use the Blood Pressure Checker
- Sit quietly for 5 minutes, then measure your blood pressure.
- Enter the systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) numbers.
- Check the category and chart.
Tips for accurate readings
- Avoid tea, coffee, smoking and exercise 30 minutes before.
- Sit with your back supported and feet flat, arm at heart level.
- Take two readings a minute apart and use the average.
