Choice of the arm for the blood pressure measurement:
The first time, it's recommended to take the measurement in both arms. If one arm con-
sistently has higher blood pressure than the other (> 10 mmHg), that arm should be used
to measure your blood pressure except in the event of contraindications in this arm (You
should discuss differences higher than 10 mm Hg with your doctor).
If there is no asymmetry, the readings are often more easily taken in the non-dominant arm
( left for right-handed, right for left-handed).
