?: There is one of 2 problems: you have an abnormal pulse in your left arm or your cuff isn't positioned correctly when shifted to the left side. Have someone knowledgeable palpate your radial pulse in your left and right wrist - it it's diminished on the left compared with the right, you have your answer.
