I don't think it matter which arm you take your blood pressure. My doctor has done in both of my arms..

It doesn't matter which arm to use for blood pressure check.

The arm is indifferent. But if you wanna have a precise measurement, you should take it from both arms 2-3 times and then use the higher blood pressure measured

Yes, it can matter which arm you use to measure your blood pressure. Here are some key points to consider:

Consistency
Use the Same Arm: It’s important to consistently use the same arm for blood pressure measurements to ensure comparability over time. This helps track changes accurately.
Differences Between Arms
Slight Variations: Blood pressure readings can vary slightly between arms. A difference of up to 10 mm Hg is generally considered normal.
Significant Differences: If there is a significant difference (more than 10 mm Hg) between the readings of your two arms, it could indicate an underlying health issue, such as peripheral artery disease. In such cases, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider.
Which Arm to Use
Dominant Arm: Some guidelines suggest using the non-dominant arm (the left arm for right-handed people) for more consistent readings.
Higher Reading: If there is a consistent difference between the two arms, use the arm with the higher reading for future measurements.
Best Practices
Positioning: Ensure your arm is at heart level and supported on a flat surface during the measurement.
Relaxation: Sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking the measurement to ensure an accurate reading.
If you notice significant differences between the readings of your two arms, it’s a good idea to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

It's a good idea to take the blood pressure measured in both arms at least once. It's possible reading in one arm may differ with another.

Some say use the left side of the arm first as it's closest to the heart. Repeat it on the other arm if you wish to repeat as it's not recommended to do it on the same arm to avoid inaccurate readings as the veins are still refilling after the first pump
