Health Log
Private logs for blood pressure, blood sugar, a child's fever, breastfeeding sessions, hair fall, myopia, period pain and snoring, saved on your device and exportable for your doctor.
Pick what you want to track, add readings as you take them, and see trends you can show your doctor. This page brings together 8 separate health log pages (Blood pressure, Blood sugar, Breastfeeding, Child fever, Hair fall, Myopia, Period pain, Snoring) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
How to use Health Log

- 3
Fill in the health log for that log; each of the 8 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
- 4
Read the result, then switch log to compare. The page link keeps your log (?v=blood-pressure), so you can bookmark or share it.
Why use Health Log
All 8 in one place
Blood pressure, Blood sugar, Breastfeeding and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching log takes a tap instead of a new search.
Built for each option
Every log keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
Shareable view
The link remembers the log you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
Common use cases
- Your doctor asked for two weeks of home readings before deciding on medication, and you want to arrive with a printed sheet showing the 7-day and 30-day averages instead of a phone full of screenshots.
- You test four times a day and want to know whether your high numbers are a fasting problem or a post-meal problem, because the fix is different — the per-context averages separate the two.
- Answering the health visitor's question about how many feeds and how many minutes the baby had yesterday, without relying on memory
- Keeping an accurate overnight record of a toddler's temperature so the GP sees the actual pattern rather than a vague recollection.
Frequently asked questions
Which log options does this tool cover?
8: Blood pressure, Blood sugar, Breastfeeding, Child fever, Hair fall, Myopia, Period pain, Snoring. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=blood-pressure) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
What counts as high blood pressure at home?
Under the 2017 AHA/ACC categories used here, 130-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic is Stage 1 hypertension, and 140 or higher or 90 or higher is Stage 2. Normal is below 120 and below 80, with 120-129 over a diastolic under 80 counted as Elevated. Home averages are usually judged slightly lower than clinic readings, so bring the log to your doctor rather than self-diagnosing from it.
What is a good time in range for blood sugar?
A commonly cited goal for many adults is more than 70% of readings inside 70-180 mg/dL (3.9-10.0 mmol/L), with under 4% below 70 mg/dL and under 1% below 54 mg/dL. This log calculates exactly those bands from your entries. Your own targets can be tighter or looser — pregnancy, older age and hypoglycemia unawareness all change them, so confirm yours with your care team.
How many times a day should a newborn breastfeed?
AAP and WHO guidance describes roughly 8 to 12 feeds in every 24 hours for a healthy newborn in the first weeks, fed on demand rather than on a fixed clock. Fewer than eight feeds a day, or a baby too sleepy to wake for feeds, is worth raising with your midwife or paediatrician.
What temperature counts as a fever in a child?
A core temperature of 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) or higher is a fever. Armpit readings run about 0.5 °C below core and oral readings about 0.4 °C below, so an armpit reading of 37.5 °C already corresponds to a fever. Ear and forehead thermometers are usually calibrated to display the core-equivalent value directly.
How many hairs is it normal to lose in a day?
About 50 to 100 a day for an adult scalp. With roughly 100,000 hairs on the head, 100 a day is about 0.1% — and because hairs are replaced continuously, that rate does not thin the hair.
What counts as fast myopia progression in a child?
A change of about -0.50 dioptres a year or more is the figure eye care professionals generally use to describe a progressing myope, and -0.75 D a year or faster is often called rapid. Younger children typically progress faster, so age matters as much as the number.
How do I describe period pain to a doctor?
Use the 0-10 scale and give three numbers: your typical score, your worst score, and how many days a cycle sit at 7 or above. Adding what you took and whether it helped, plus any days off work or school, gives a clinician far more than the word severe on its own.
How many nights a week counts as habitual snoring?
Snoring on three or more nights a week is the threshold most commonly used to define habitual snoring in sleep research. This log reports the exact percentage of logged nights with any snoring and the percentage at level 2 or louder, so you can see where you sit against that line.
