Does it matter which arm to take blood pressure?
I am a 39 year old male. I want to know if it matters which arm to take blood pressure?
1 Answer
Normally the pressure in both arms are similar.In rare cases patient may have severe stenosis of one of the SUBCLAVIAN artery. In such case the blood pressure will not be the same. Therefore at first time check the pressure in both arms, and do the same every 5 years.
