Does anyone here have a difference of 10mmhg or greater blood pressure between both left and right arms? I consistently have a difference of 10mmhg or greater between the 2, my right arm is consistently lower than my left arm for both systolic and diastolic.

 

I am freaking out because everywhere on the internet it says that it is a sign of a blocked artery and increases chance of mortality. 

 

Thanks in Advance!

I was told a difference is completely normal but I don’t recall the specific numbers. I believe it has something to do with distance from the heart.

@Sam4877 - my BP always differs AT LEAST 10 mmHg between right and left. I was told by my PCP as well as my cardiologist that it is nothing to worry about, and I am still alive!!!!!!!
