In any case, blood pressure is measured by a Sphygmonometer usually. Which you probably will of seen before. It's a inflatable cuff that wraps round the top of your left arm and squeezes so its cut off blood flow and it will measure the systolic and diastolic rate of your heart.
i thought they could take blood pressure from either arm, doesn't have to be the left?
