Difference in Blood pressure units
Hi,
I always measure my blood pressure at home in right arm and it is in normal range (115-125/75-85).
However, since few days I casually checked the bp on my left arm and there is a significant difference in the values of atleast 10.
My left arm bp comes around (130-135/92-97).
I don't have any other problem. I just check my bp occasionally or when I am feeling low.
Please tell me if there is anything to worry regarding this change in values. Which bp value should I consider correct?
