Blood Pressure Q＆A
Q: What causes different readings?
A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many
factors including diet, stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect
an individual's blood pressure.
Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right wrist? What is the
difference?

comparing results, the same wrist should be used.
Testing on your left wrist may provide more accurate results
as it is located closer to your heart.
