A Blood Pressure Log Spreadsheet That Does the Math for You
Pulsepage is a blood pressure log spreadsheet and printable BP tracker for anyone checking their blood pressure at home. Type each reading into the Excel log, and Pulsepage sorts it into the standard adult category, splits morning from evening, and builds your weekly and monthly averages, charts and a one-page summary for your doctor. Prefer pen and paper? The same download includes printable and fillable PDF log sheets in US Letter and A4.
Most blood pressure logs are a blank table. You write numbers in, and that’s where it stops. Pulsepage turns those numbers into answers: is my average going down, am I higher in the morning, how often am I under my target, and what should I show my doctor?
Who It’s For
- Adults asked by a doctor or nurse to monitor blood pressure at home
- Anyone starting or changing blood pressure medicine who wants to see the effect
- Caregivers keeping a log for a parent, partner or family member
- People who want clear, organized numbers at appointments instead of scraps of paper or phone photos
What the Excel Blood Pressure Tracker Does
Log readings in seconds
One row per reading: date, time, systolic, diastolic and pulse. Dropdowns cover arm, position, medication (taken, missed, late, not due) and quick tags like caffeine, stress or poor sleep. There’s a notes column for symptoms, food or anything else. The log holds 1,000 readings, about 16 months at 2 readings a day.
Automatic categories
Each reading is labeled Normal, Elevated, Stage 1 high, Stage 2 high or Severe, using the standard adult ranges published by the American Heart Association. An optional Low flag catches readings under 90/60. You can rename the categories or change the limits on the Settings tab if your doctor gives you different numbers.
A dashboard you’ll actually look at
- Latest reading with its category, time and pulse
- 7-day and 30-day averages, with the change from the week before
- Percentage of readings below your personal target, with a progress bar
- Morning and evening averages side by side
- Highest and lowest reading of the last 30 days, average pulse and missed doses
- 4 charts: 30-day trend with target lines, category mix, 12-week averages, morning vs evening
Weekly and monthly averages, filled in for you
Every week and every month since your first reading gets its own row: number of readings, average systolic, diastolic and pulse, morning and evening averages, highest and lowest, percentage on target and the category of the average. A change column shows whether your weekly systolic went up or down.
Color-coded month view
Pick any month and see each day’s average reading in a calendar, shaded by category. Patterns jump out fast.
One-page Doctor Summary
Choose 7, 14, 30, 60 or 90 days. The summary pulls your averages, morning and evening numbers, highest and lowest readings, category breakdown, week-by-week table, a 30-day chart, your current medications and a box for questions. It’s set up to print on a single page or save as PDF.
Medications and doctor visits
Keep a list of every medicine with dose, timing, start and stop dates. The Visits tab places each clinic reading next to your home average for the 7 days before, so you and your doctor can spot the white coat effect.

File Formats and Requirements
The tracker is an .xlsx file for Microsoft Excel 2010 or later on Windows or Mac. It uses no macros and also opens in Google Sheets. Formula cells are locked (no password) so they can’t be overwritten by accident, while every input cell stays open. The PDFs print on any home printer; to type into them, use Adobe Acrobat Reader or another app that supports PDF forms.
Customize It
Rename categories, edit dropdown lists, add your own tags, set the time that separates morning from evening, and change your target. Everything that uses those settings updates on its own. Tracking two people? Save a second copy of the file.
Real Ways People Use It
- Checking whether a new medicine is bringing the weekly average down
- Showing a doctor that clinic readings run higher than home readings
- Logging a parent’s readings and sharing a clean summary with siblings
- Keeping a paper log next to the monitor and typing it in once a week
Digital Download
