Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry I forgot to ask.... I read on this site that blocks may be responsible for differnt bp reading in each arm. Sometimes my right arm is higer, sometime my left arm is higher???? What should I think about this? Please don't tell me to go to my non-exsistant " team " . If possible please just answer me so that I have a chance to help myself. Much thanks for any advice, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Differences between the 2 arms that changes from time to time is not caused by a blockage but by random variation in BP or by which one is done first Measure. BP on each arm until it appears they are the same or are different. So at the same sitting do 3 on right then 3 on left. Next time do left first. Next time left first. Repeat until u are convinced there is or is not a difference. U can set up an excel sheet to calculate a t test between the right and left. You should reach a confusion after you have 10 readings on each arm. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Jan 10, 2012, at 19:03, B <syre@...> wrote: Sorry I forgot to ask....
