So when I check my blood pressure I usually do both arms, and I've noticed several times that my right arm reading is higher than my left usually the bottom number is pretty close but the top number is off by 15-20 numbers.
My blood pressure in my right arm usually runs about 130ish / 80 while the left arm sometimes dips down to 120's 110's.
My mother and brother both cannot get a blood pressure reading from the left arm and the doctor has never said anything about it. My mom is 60 years old with no history of heart disease or anything other than PVC same goes for my brother.
I'm not really worried about this but I am curious because I've noticed this for quite some time now. I'm not looking for medical advice or a diagnosis I'm just simply wondering if any of you have this and what it means.
I Googled it but all they come up with is pad and increase risk of heart attacks yikes lol
