Your heart is on the left side. Un;ess it is shifted in the centre there will always be a difference. Dont be so obsessed. Relax and chill Angela. You will be fine.

Yes, it is normal to to have little difference in BP in two arms. But if upper (systolic ) measures more than 20 points and lower ( diastolic) ,more than 10 points talk to your doctor.

Thankyou Patliputra i had also researched the same information it can be a problem if it is a big differance yours Angela

[patliputra]

A simple suggestion,all electronic devices tend to go hay wires. So please get it caliberated, time to time with Mercury manometers.
