Hi,

In both the arms the blood pressure varies little and it will be more fluctuating if you go on reading it on your own with associated symptoms like chest pain, difficulty in breathing and fatigue. It would be a matter of concern, and in that case, it is better to consult the physician for exact reading of blood pressure and suggestion. Continuous high reading of blood pressure may be the case of hypertension and it may require medication but confirming a diagnosis of hypertension is necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
