Blood Pressure
by Diane, Dec 23, 1999 12:00AM
A while ago a friend of mine had a problem with her blood pressure. Facts: She is severely obese, had high stress, and had just been injured on the job. When they took her blood pressure she had a major difference between her two arms. Example: right 216/110, left 98/64 or vice-versa. Normal blood pressure was about 130/84. What happened?

There can be blockages in one arm that causes a lower pressure on that side.
