Do BP readings differ between arms? Doctor explains what it means
Friday, 15 August 2025 ()
Small blood pressure differences between arms are common, usually under 10 mmHg. However, a consistent difference exceeding 10-15 mmHg warrants medical consultation, potentially indicating artery narrowing or, rarely, aortic dissection. Doctors often check both arms to uncover hidden circulation issues, advising consistent use of the arm with higher readings for future measurements.
