A member asked:
My blood pressure in my right arm is much more than my left arm.personalise+what to do ?please
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bp: When there is a large pressure difference between the two arms, it usually means there is some kind of flow obstruction in the vessels to the arm with the lower blood pressure. Usually this isn't an urgent situation but you ought to consult your doctor to have it checked out.
