Why have I been asked to measure my blood pressure at home and what do I need to do?
During a recent visit to the Doctor you may have been asked to monitor your blood pressure at home
You will be asked to take your blood pressure readings twice each day, for seven days and you may be able to borrow a blood pressure monitor from the practice if one is available or you can use your own monitor if you have one.. Instructions for use are provided with the monitor.
Enter the readings from the monitor on the form below. You will need to print the form to do this. if you do not have access to a printer, you can collect a form from the reception. Follow the instructions on the form.
Returned the completed form to the practice where a doctor or member of the nursing team will review the readings. They will be able to assess if you have high blood pressure or not. The doctor will then decide if treatment is required.
If you borrowed a blood pressure monitor from the practice, please return it at the same time you return your form.
