Before you start
You need a blood pressure machine to do this. If you do not have one, please contact your GP.
For help using your machine, check British Heart Foundation’s guide to blood pressure monitoring at home.
How it works
1.In the morning, take the first number (SYS).
2. Take the second number (DIA).
3. Make a note of both numbers.
4. Do the same in the afternoon.
5. Repeat for 7 days.
6. At the end of 7 days, we’ll send you a link to submit your readings.
Take the fist number (SYS)
Make a note of the first number on your blood pressure monitor. It’s the one with ‘SYS’ next to it.
If this number is 175 or higher, make an urgent same-day appointment to see your GP.
Take the second number (DIA)
Make a note of the second number on your blood pressure monitor. It’s the one with ‘DIA’ next to it.
If this number is 115 or higher, make an urgent same-day appointment to see your GP.
Take readings twice a day
Take readings every morning and every afternoon or evening. Do this for 7 days.
It might help to set a reminder on your phone to help you remember.
Write the readings down somewhere safe. At the end of the 7 days we’ll send you a link to submit your readings.
Do not worry if you forget to take readings at any point - just submit what you have.
Thanks!
