Ernie Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi,Both arms should have the same or close to the same BP. If there is a big difference then it means there is a problem on one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radha Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 whenever doctor takes my bp in left arm she has to take several time because she cant even hear it or get a reading, but on right arm it comes right away, no one ever gave me any reason for this, do any of u have any ideas why this might happen? thanks for any inforadha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 That happens to me to. on my left arm usually the nurse asks me if i have an extremely low bp and then tries to take it again, but ends up moving the cuff over to my right arm and then gets a fairly normal reading. not sure why this happens, but... hey, me too - Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
