Men measure blood pressure left hand or right hand

Men can choose left or right hand when measuring blood pressure, and it will not affect the measurement results.

Blood pressure refers to the lateral pressure caused by the blood flowing in the blood vessels. Normal adult blood pressure is generally 90-139mmHg systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure 60-89mmHg. Whether men choose left or right hand when measuring blood pressure, it will not affect the measurement results. When measuring blood pressure, the blood pressure of brachial artery is generally measured. The lower edge of cuff of sphygmomanometer should be kept 1-2cm away from elbow fossa. If there is a certain difference between left and right sides, it is generally recommended to use the side with higher blood pressure as the standard value of blood pressure. In addition, the side with higher blood pressure should be selected as the measurement site in the future
