Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I keep a blood pressure log?
A log turns isolated readings into a meaningful picture of your cardiovascular health. Doctors cannot make informed treatment decisions from a single clinic reading. A home log over two to four weeks reveals whether your blood pressure is consistently high, fluctuates at certain times, or responds to lifestyle changes. It also catches "white coat hypertension" where clinic readings are elevated by anxiety.
How often should I log my blood pressure?
The American Heart Association recommends logging twice daily: once in the morning before taking any medications and once in the evening before dinner. Take two readings at least one minute apart and record both. Aim for consistency over at least two weeks before a doctor appointment.
What is the best time to measure blood pressure?
Morning measurements should be taken after waking, before eating, before taking medications, and after using the bathroom. Evening measurements are best taken before dinner. Avoid measuring within 30 minutes of exercise, caffeine, or smoking. Always sit quietly for five minutes before measuring.
Is a digital blood pressure log better than paper?
A digital log like Cardilog has significant advantages over paper. It timestamps every reading automatically, calculates averages, displays trends visually, sends reminders, and generates shareable PDF reports. Paper logs get lost, run out, and require manual calculation. For anyone tracking blood pressure consistently, a digital log is the better choice.
Can I share my Cardilog blood pressure log with my doctor?
Yes. Cardilog generates professional PDF health reports you can share directly with your doctor via email or print. The report includes your reading history, trend charts, and averages over your selected time period, giving your doctor a complete picture of your blood pressure between visits.
