title: 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?
