Average Home Blood Pressure Reading
Calculating your average blood pressure

Ignore the first day of readings (as this was when you were getting used to the monitor) and take an average of the remaining readings. Add up all the top systolic blood pressures & divide by the number of blood pressures done, then repeat with the bottom diastolic blood pressures.
