Coarctation of aorta: You have coarctation of the aorta. This is a narrowing of the aorta between the origins of the arm arteries (resulting in the drop in BP in the left arm). Blood pressure medications lessen the chances of it causing problems in the future. If you have symptoms (such as short of breath, weakness in legs, dizziness), it may need to be repaired. Keep taking your meds and see your md regularly.
