It is most accurate to check your blood pressure on the left side. However, you can check your blood pressure on the right if you have been told so by your medical provider. There are some instances such as surgery in which it will be advisable to check blood pressure on the right side. Many organizations, like the American Cancer Society and the National Lymphedema Network, advise mastectomy survivors to avoid checking blood pressure on the surgery side, if possible.
