Why Chart Blood Pressure?

Your blood pressure changes throughout the day. Taking a single blood pressure reading is like taking a photo of a movie … you can see what is happening right now, but you miss out on the big picture. Taking and charting one or two readings a day, over a period of time, gives you and your Doctor a more accurate picture of your true blood pressure. Also, recent research shows that home monitoring blood pressure can actually reduce blood pressure.
