Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Arm After Taking Blood Pressure?
My blood pressure is 153/103. After I took my blood pressure an hour ago, my lower arm from elbow to hand is throbbing. Should I be worried. The monitor got so tight it cut the circulation off to hand and it has been throbbing for over an hour now.
I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, if a blood pressure cuff causes pain, then it was on too long and it takes minutes to hours but the pain is worst at first and subsides.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
