I don't understand the swing, is this what happens?

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
What are the alternative therapies you have tried?
Banana is a good choice for increase potassium intake. Besides of salt, avoid food with sodium such as cheese, sausage will help.
Do you have more information about the exact blood pressure, and also the blood cholesterol level?
How much difference between the left arm and right arm reading?
And remember, psychological feelings will alter the blood pressure reading very much.
Left arm 152/80 Right arm 135/80
Left arm 157/94 Right arm 138/84
Doctor mentioned that the different readings between the two arms should be on 10 point difference. I am not sure what else this might indicate.
