What Causes Vibrating Like Sensation During Bp Check?

I have felt a vibrating sensation (like a cell phone vibration) in my left arm when I take by blood pressure. It only happens when I take my blood pressure and lasts about 5 seconds or so but continues then subsides until the blood pressure monitoring is finished. There is no pain but it is very strange.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that ideally the blood pressure need to be measured by physician because if you go on measuring this with your own then chances of becoming anxious and tense is likely and this could cause such symptom as you described here, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
