Blood pressure log booklet to print, fold and keep in your purse

This blood pressure log booklet is printed at home and folded into a small record that fits in a purse. You get an undated main booklet of 24 pages and a refill of 8 log pages, both laid out on landscape sheets in saddle-stitch order. Just print on both sides, fold the pile in half and add staples. The 19 page PDF comes in US Letter, which makes Half Letter pages, and in A4, which makes A5 pages. Download instantly; nothing is shipped.

No loose scraps of paper, and no guessing what your readings looked like last month.

How the blood pressure log booklet works

Each booklet page is exactly half a sheet, so there is no cutting. The pages are already paired in the right order, so once you fold, the numbers run straight through. Every month opens onto two facing pages where each day gets a single row holding two readings, AM and PM, with the time, top and bottom numbers and pulse, a notes column and boxes for monthly averages at the bottom.

Summary pages for averages and month reviews show how your numbers shift over time, giving your doctor a tidy overview in place of loose notes. Your medicines, doctor contacts, the routine your doctor set for measuring and visit notes all sit in the same little booklet, and every refill gives you another three months of logging.

Who will find this booklet useful

• People whose doctor has asked for home blood pressure checks morning and evening
• Anyone who wants readings, medicines and doctor details in a little booklet for a purse or beside the monitor
• Family caregivers tracking a parent's or partner's blood pressure and taking it along to each visit
• Those who would rather write readings by hand than enter them in an app

Design and printing

• A calm, minimal look: white paper and blush pink accents that are easy on ink
• Generous margins, so home printers do not clip anything
• From the US Letter file, the booklet pages are Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), printed two per side on landscape sheets. From the A4 file, they are A5 (148 x 210 mm), also two per side. The order is set for saddle stitching, so there is no cutting
• Undated, so you can begin in whatever month suits you, and no goal numbers are printed
• Every sheet has pink fold marks, every booklet page is numbered and the middle spread shows where to staple
• Folds down to purse size, and the back cover carries an emergency summary

Inside the blood pressure log booklet: 19 PDF pages

1. 1Cover listing the contents and every page found in the booklet
2. 2Printing help: a table showing how many PDF pages and sheets each booklet uses, an explanation of the layout, two-sided print settings, a tip to try one test sheet, manual duplex steps and a box to note your own printer setup
3. 3Duplex and page order guide: a diagram of each of the 6 main sheets, front and reverse, the order of the refill sheets, a five step routine (print, stack, fold, staple, check) and advice on stapling with an ordinary stapler, carrying the booklet in a purse and adding the refill
4. 4 to 15The 24 page main booklet, printed on 6 sheets. Up front are a cover with your name and the date you begin, a personal details page (name, birth date, phone, health ID or insurance number, three emergency contacts, conditions, allergies, blood type, start date) and a care team page with 11 lines for each doctor or role, clinic and phone number, plus your pharmacy, out of hours number, appointment line and patient portal. A prescribed medicines page lists 14 current medicines with dose, timing and prescriber and 4 stopped ones, and a measuring routine page records your doctor's instructions: how often, what time of day, how many readings, which arm, your monitor and cuff size, a 7 line checklist you write for before each reading and when to phone the doctor. The heart of the booklet is four monthly spreads, the first page for days 1 to 16 and the second for 17 to 31, with AM and PM time, sys, dia and pulse on every row, a notes column, notes for the doctor and averages for mornings, evenings and pulse. After that: a yearly averages table for 12 months (AM and PM averages, pulse, how many readings, a box to tick once shared, and how to calculate an average), a month in review page for 4 months (highest, lowest, days missed, observations), 11 lines of medicine changes and 6 lines of side effects to raise, a visit questions page (why you are going, what has changed, 10 numbered questions and what to take), two visit notes pages (who you saw, the reading taken at the clinic, the doctor's comments, medicine changes, tests and referrals, your next appointment and when to ring the office), an appointment list of 16 lines with tests and check-ups coming due, 20 lines of extra readings (date, time, sys, dia, pulse, arm, how you felt), a reminders page (follow-ups, refills, daily prompts, questions for next time), a notes page and the back cover, holding an emergency summary and a checklist to finish before starting a new booklet
5. 16 to 19The 8 page log refill, printed on 2 sheets: a cover with your name and its months, three more monthly spreads laid out just like the main ones, and a closing page with averages for those three months, notes for the doctor and a checklist for when it is full

Good to know

• The PDF is made to be printed on both sides and folded, so it is not a hyperlinked digital planner. Paper, covers and a stapler are not part of the purchase.
• You are buying a digital download. Nothing physical will be shipped.
• Colors may print slightly differently from how they look on screen.
• The files are for your own personal use. Sharing, reselling or redistributing them is not allowed.
• Since digital files cannot be sent back, we cannot accept returns, but email us if something will not open or print properly and we will sort it out quickly.
• This is a place for your own records, not medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and includes no goal numbers. Check your blood pressure and take your medicines exactly as your doctor instructs, and talk to them before you begin, stop or adjust any medicine. If there is an emergency, ring your local emergency number.
• Each printer aligns the reverse side a little differently, so try one plain test sheet before you print the whole booklet.
