I forgot to take my liscinopril /hctz /10/12.5 today til about 5pm. I checked it on my left wrist, it was 178/132 then shortly I checked my right wrist, it was 121/88. Then, later, I checked again both sides...left wrist was 162 /110, and right wrist was 129/83. This seems to be a trend for now, usually I only check on one side, but checking the left side first, moved me to check again. This has got me curious, could this indicate a slight blockage or narrowing of some vessels?
Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on Chat Doctor. The difference of blood pressure more than 10 points between arms may suggest different problems. In elderly this might be due to artery blockage from atherosclerosis, peripheral artery diseases, damage to the main artery of the body, aorta, heart diseases, strokes etc. Have you any other symptoms except this finding of blood pressure? If your blood pressure difference in both arms remains more than 10 points, please consider seeing a doctor at your healthcare center and do the proper examinations. Feel free to ask us again if you have further questions and concerns. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about your experience with me!
