U can take blood pressure on any arm ...usually blood pressure difference is not more than 10 mmhg..maximum people are right and comfortable to take it in right hand ...your pressure seems to be ok...take blood pressure when u feel dizziness. If same is blood pressure. We may have to look for other cause
