Automatic bp machine 120/74 both arms. manual 120/79 left arm 140/90 right arm. why is manual np higher in right arm?

Who took the BP?: Did you take your BP manually? Which arm was tested first? Was the cuff wrapped equally snugly on both arms? What was the time interval between the two manual readings? You may wish to rely on your doctor checking your BP. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
