Medical Advice Disclaimer

The content provided on Blood Pressure Chart (bloodpressurechart.co.uk), including but not limited to text, graphics, images, information obtained from our blood pressure checking tool, and other material, is for informational and educational purposes only.

The information on this website is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your GP, qualified healthcare provider, or other qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, including high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension), or any other health concerns.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Our blood pressure chart and checking tool is designed to help you understand your blood pressure readings based on general guidelines published by the NHS (National Health Service) and NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

However, please be aware that:

• Individual circumstances vary. Blood pressure targets may differ based on your age, existing health conditions, medications, and other factors that only your healthcare provider can properly assess.
• A single reading is not diagnostic. Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. A diagnosis of hypertension typically requires multiple elevated readings taken on separate occasions.
• Home readings differ from clinical readings. The thresholds used for home monitoring may differ from those used in clinical settings due to the "white coat effect."
• Our tool cannot detect underlying conditions. High or low blood pressure can be symptoms of other medical conditions that require professional diagnosis and treatment.
