Blood pressure can be measured on either side of the arm as long as there are no contraindications to measuring blood pressure.

Which arm should be used to measure blood pressure?

Under normal circumstances, as long as the correct method of measuring blood pressure is mastered, it is possible to measure blood pressure on either side of the arm, and be careful not to switch back and forth. The blood pressure of the left upper limb and the blood pressure of the right upper limb may be biased due to the amount of usual activity, but as long as it is fixed on one side of the limb, it will not affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurement
