  • 1. On call. My doctor usually checks my blood pressure in my left arm. When I went for my checkup yesterday, he used my right arm, and the reading was 10 points higher than usual. I asked him to check my left arm, and it was 8 points lower. Does the difference matter? And which is my real pressure?

  • 2. I am a 64-year-old man with high blood pressure. My doctor always checks my pressure in my right arm, but I've started checking both arms with my own blood pressure machine. My right arm is always 6-10 points higher than my left. Is this normal?

  • 3. Ask the doctor. When checking my blood pressure at home, I always put the cuff on my right arm. Just for fun, one day I put it on my left arm and got a different reading. Did I make a mistake, or can someone have different blood pressure readings depending on which arm is used?

  • 9. By the way, doctor. At my last checkup, my doctor told me my blood pressure was elevated; it was 160/90. Over six weeks, I was able to get the diastolic pressure down to the low 80s through diet and exercise. But I have trouble keeping my systolic pressure down. It seems to fluctuate frequently and is especially dependent on my emotions. Any suggestions?

  • 13. Ask the doctor. Sometimes I take a walk while wearing my blood pressure cuff. For the first few minutes, as I walk at a modest pace, my systolic blood pressure rises from 115 to 130 or so, while my heart rate hardly changes from its usual 60-something beats per minute. But when I start walking faster, my systolic pressure stays steady or sometimes goes down a bit, while my heart rate increases to 110. Is this a normal pattern? Can you explain what is going on?

  • 15. On call. My wife's doctor always tells her to fast before he checks her cholesterol so he can measure her triglycerides, but my doctor says triglycerides don't matter. Who is right?
