Introduction

This is a script I wrote to plot my blood pressure over time, which I get by exporting CSV files from my blood pressure device.

It has only been tested on Windows with Python 3.11

Readings taken within 1 hour of each other will be averaged together in the plot, so it is beneficial to take 4-5 readings at a time each day.

How to run

1. Create a venv and install requirements
2. Place CSV files in root directory of repo
3. Run blood_pressure.py
4. Profit

Expected CSV format:

Times are assumed to have no timezone information. Spacing is irrelevant.

Date,       Time,     Systolic, Diastolic, Heart Rate
07/01/2022, 10:06 AM, 120,      70,        60,
07/02/2022, 10:06 AM, 120,      70,        60,

Adding plot annotations

You can add markers on the time series indicating dates when a medication was started, stopped, changed, etc.

Make a copy of dates_template.py and name it dates.py. Follow the format of the examples.
