Hypertension: What to Track and Say at Appointments | Violet Sheet | Fillable and Printable PDF

Because your numbers, your symptoms, and your voice deserve to be taken seriously.

Built using the Rooted in Violet ROOT Framework, this resource is especially designed to support Black women and women of color navigating cardiovascular care where concerns are too often minimized.

Inside this printable toolkit: ✔ symptom and trigger checklist ✔ weekly BP trend log (systolic, diastolic, heart rate) ✔ medication tracker ✔ doctor-visit advocacy script ✔ red-flag warning signs list ✔ home monitoring guidance ✔ printable PDF instant download
