Differences in blood pressure between your arms may be sign of heart trouble, study says

[Robert59]

The next time you get your blood pressure taken at the doctor, you might consider asking the nurse to take it in both arms.
A significant difference in the systolic, or top blood pressure reading between the two arms could be a warning sign of a future heart attack or stroke, according to a new meta-analysis of 24 global studies published Monday in the journal Hypertension.

Interesting! I have always had a signifcant difference. My right arm is always super high 180’s to 200’s. My left arm is my get out of jail free arm. Near normal on that side. I do have some blockages but they are being watched.
