FitRest's blood pressure log keeps the readings from your home cuff in one place. Enter systolic and diastolic in mmHg, and each reading gets a clear category, from Normal up to Hypertensive Crisis. Trends then show how steady your readings are over weeks and months.
Each entry is a systolic and diastolic value in mmHg, a time from the When? picker and an optional note. The note is stored with the reading itself. Every reading is placed into one of the widely used blood pressure categories, each with its own colour, and the app shows the mmHg range for each one.
Blood pressure moves all day. It rises with stress, exercise, caffeine and even talking, and it is often higher in a clinic than at home. That is why a single reading is a snapshot, and a series of home readings taken the same way is far more useful. Long-term high blood pressure often has no symptoms at all, which is one more reason people keep a regular log.
How you measure matters as much as how often. FitRest includes simple measurement tips: measure at the same time each day, rest for 5 minutes before measuring, avoid caffeine for 30 minutes before, and sit with your feet flat on the floor.
FitRest is not a medical device and does not diagnose any condition. If your readings concern you, or one falls in the highest category, talk to a doctor.
Blood Pressure Trends shows your readings over 7, 30 or 90 days or a custom range. Alongside the averages, Systolic Variability and Diastolic Variability describe how much your readings move around, labelled Very Steady, Normal or Variable. A day timeline lists each reading with its category.
Seeing variability next to your averages helps you notice when readings become less consistent, which is useful context when you review your log with a doctor.
On iPhone, choose Blood Pressure from the + button on the Dashboard. The Blood Pressure card on the Dashboard shows your latest reading and how long ago it was taken. It is hidden by default and can be turned on in Customize. On Apple Watch, the Blood Pressure page has systolic and diastolic steppers, so you can log right after taking a reading. Reading and Weekly blood pressure widgets are available for the Home Screen.
Blood Pressure Reminders send a Blood Pressure Check at the times you set, which makes measuring at the same time each day much easier. With Save to Apple Health on, every reading is written there, and readings from other apps that save to Apple Health appear in FitRest. The export button saves the last 30 days as a Text File, CSV File or PDF Document.
In the widely used categories that FitRest labels, a reading below 120/80 mmHg is Normal. Ask your doctor what target is right for you.
