usually blood pressure in not checked in both arms
Yes, blood pressure readings can vary between the left and right arms due to differences in blood vessel constriction. This is known as the inter-arm blood pressure difference. It is important to measure blood pressure in both arms to detect any significant differences that may indicate underlying health issues.
Probably high blood pressure. You should have this looked at by your doctor and consider being put on blood pressure medication. Also, reduce sodium and caffeine intake and drink plenty of water.
There are specially designed blood pressure cuffs for children. The regular ones are too big for their arms.
Well, honey, if someone doesn't have arms or legs, you can still take their blood pressure using a special device called a thigh cuff. You simply wrap the cuff around their thigh and use a stethoscope to listen for the blood flow. It's not ideal, but hey, where there's a will, there's a way!
Some medical conditions prevent a health professional to obtain a Blood Pressure from the arm, or the arm is simply too big. Obtaining a Blood Pressure from ones leg is an accurate reading just as on the arm, you can also get a reading from the forearm.
Possibly an infection of some sort
Yes, you can. It should be in the options section.
The Ankle-brachial index (ABI) tests the blood pressure difference between your arms and your legs. It is used to find out if you have peripheral vascular disease. This disease is characterised by plaques in the blood vessels of the arms and legs which impair blood flow to tissues downstream from the plaque. It is seen in smokers and diabetics.
Water pressure tanks are not living beings, therefore water pressure tanks do not have throats or arms. Only living beings have throats or arms.
Could be low blood pressure or bad circulation or anemia. many other reasons but those would be common.
The systolic blood pressure (top number, heart contracting) should be higher than your diastolic (lower number, heart at rest); but only within reason. The reading you gave should be rechecked Blood pressure should only be taken when you have sat quietly for at least 5 min. with both feet flat on the ground and your arm at heart level. A reading like this should be checked manually, in both arms, before making any judgments about the reading; the pressure you noted is not normal, it is a wide pulse pressure. The top and bottom number should be ABOUT 40 mm apart from each other - in a normal, healthy individual. It is doubtful that a health-care professional would let you leave the office with a reading like this, unless they investigated further. I suspect it is an error in reading, but none the less - I would visit a physician and be evaluated if I were you, just to make sure.
the heart is more closer to the arm than to the leg....more blood circulations happens/ appear in upper part of the body than to the lower part.but how come that some nurses took patients BP through legs? this actions can be done when the patients has amputed arms.
