A member asked:

Is it okay to use upper arm blood pressure monitor on lower arm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure: The usual method is with a cuff over the upper arm and the stethoscope located over the brachial artery at the elbow end of the biceps muscle. It is possible to record a less accurate blood pressure in the wrist with the cuff on the forearm.
