Why shouldn't you take a blood pressure on an arm with a shunt?
An artificial shunt for hemodialysis, either a fistula (direct artery to vein connection) or a graft (artery to vein connection through Goretex tubing), can be on the arm, or preferably on the forearm for a fistula. A fistula, and even less so a Goretex, will not burst because of applying pressure through a sphygmomanometer (which was the original answer posted here). There is a slight risk of causing a thrombosis of the venous side of the fistula, particularly if there is already a venous stenosis.

I know Gaba helps you sleep better but can you take it if you are taking high blood pressure medication?
No, you should not take Gaba with any kind of blood pressure medication. This is because Gaba is linked to lowered blood pressure and your blood pressure could get too low.
