Generally, a small difference in blood pressure readings between arms isn't a health concern. However, a difference of more than 10 millimeters of mercury (mm hg) for either your systolic pressure (top number) or diastolic pressure (bottom number) may be a sign of an underlying problem ? such as narrowing of the main arteries to that arm. A large difference in blood pressure measurement between your arms could signal a health problem, such as: blocked arteries in your arms (peripheral artery disease) kidney disease diabetes heart defects get youself examined by a physician. For further guidance consult online in private.
