I have high blood pressure.I have a blood pressure monitor but it wont take a reading from my left arm.Why?

I don't know about your monitor, but I know that I cannot donate blood from my right arm, because the veins are too deep under the skin, The veins in my left arm are closer to the surface and they are more easily accessible. Maybe that's the case with your monitor. Maybe your veins are closer to the surface on your right arm, and that's why it can read them there.

That's really weird. Maybe it's diffective product. If not, ask your doctor, and make sure you aren't dead.
