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.

One of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?
A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.
