Talk to your doctor about what your blood pressure goal should be
Keeping your blood pressure under control has a lot to do with knowing your numbers. Medical guidelines state that a normal blood pressure for most adults is less than 120/80 mm Hg. At your next checkup, talk to your doctor about establishing a blood pressure goal that's right for you. Once you know your goal, consider these helpful ways to track your progress:
Tracking your blood pressure
To monitor your blood pressure between doctor visits, you may find it helpful to buy a home blood pressure monitor. It's not only an easy way to keep track of your blood pressure, but also a way to learn if your treatment is helping. If you are a member of the BP Success Zone Program you can receive a free blood pressure monitor with rebate. (Up to $40 value, limitations apply).* If you are interested in learning more about the BP Success Zone Program, click here.
The following chart can help you see how far you've come, or how far you need to go, to reach your blood pressure goal.
You can print this chart, take it with you to your doctor, and fill in your first reading. If you plan on monitoring your blood pressure at home, ask your doctor how often you should check it and remember to check your blood pressure at the same time each day. Keeping this chart in your wallet or taped to your refrigerator is a helpful daily reminder of how important it is to meet your established blood pressure goal.
