Blood Pressure Average Calculator

If you take readings at home over several days, this page averages them. Type each top number and each bottom number, separated by commas or spaces, in the same order.

How it works

The average of the top numbers is their total divided by how many there are. The same is done for the bottom numbers.

Readings can change a lot with the time of day and how you feel, so note when each one was taken.

Worked example

From 4 readings, the average top number is 124 and the average bottom number is 79.

Questions

What do the top and bottom numbers mean?

The top number is the pressure when the heart beats. The bottom number is the pressure between beats. Your doctor can explain what your readings mean for you.

How many readings should I average?

That is up to you. Many people average several readings taken on different days, and a doctor may suggest a routine.

Does this tell me if my pressure is high?

No. This page does not judge the numbers. Share your readings with your doctor for a view on them.
