High Blood Pressure
Self-Advocacy Sheet
High blood pressure affects Black women earlier and more severely than almost any other group — and too many of us leave appointments without real answers. This Violet Sheet gives you a fillable BP tracker, a “what to say” script for your next visit, and a clear list of questions that move your provider from dismissal to action.

From dismissal to action
Built on the ROOT Framework, this Violet Sheet helps you reveal patterns, offer clear observations, outline your needs, and take note of your care plan.
Symptom & Trigger Tracker
Documents headaches, dizziness, swelling, and other warning signs, with space to spot patterns tied to food, stress, or missed medication.
Weekly BP Log
Tracks systolic, diastolic, and heart rate readings over time — real data your provider can act on, not just a number from one visit.
Medication Tracker
Records what you’re taking and what’s making it hard to stay consistent — cost, access, side effects, or routine.
Doctor-Visit Script & Red-Flag Warning Signs
A ready-to-use advocacy script, plus a clear list of warning signs that mean it’s time to seek care now.
Move your provider from dismissal to action.
Use this Violet Sheet to track your numbers, name your patterns, and walk into every appointment with a script that gets you real answers — not just a refill.
