Hello
Normal Blood pressure in an healthy individual at the age of 21 years (+-10 years ) is usually 120/80 mm of Hg.
As you mentioned that there was fluctuation in your B P in right and left arms .
This variation in B P may be due to wrong strap of belt around biceps muscle.
The strap should be in proper position and on brachial artery .
Second reason of this type of variation depends upon the mental condition of patient so need not to worry .
Third reason of variation may be due to white coat anxiety ( of doctor ).
So consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck .
