Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.
