I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. Normally, it sits around 12090, but every now and then, it'll spike to about 130100, or drop to 10080. It used to be at 10070. I'm trying to find a natural solution and wondering if Ayurveda could help manage this, as I really don't want to be on medication forever. I lead a pretty active lifestyle, and I'm really careful with my diet and regular exercise. What do you think? Is there an alternative approach I could try?

I read that if you often have a difference of 10 to 15 mm Hg in your systolic blood pressure between your arms, it might indicate issues like vascular disease or blocked arteries. Is this actually true? Should I be worried about peripheral artery disease if my readings are consistently different?

Yes, it is true that a large difference in blood pressure measurement between your arms may indicate a health problem such as blocked arteries in your arms (peripheral artery disease). It is important to monitor and address any significant differences in blood pressure readings between your arms to prevent potential vascular disease complications.
