A member asked:
Trauma to clavical area causing high blood pressure in one arm. why would this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side to side differe: May be normal difference, but there could be a block in the artery on the side with a lower blood pressure. If this is actually a high pressure, it is not likely to have been caused by the injury. If it is feeling a difference, then the fracture could have caused nerve or other injury.
