What Causes A Weak Pulse In The Left Arm?
My husband is having a doppler test, because he's Dr states that his pulse is weaker in his left arm compared to his right. He feels fun no other problems with the arm. But he has diabetes and the Dr just wants to make sure he's ok. If something was wrong wouldn't he have symptoms?

Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that sometimes vessel narrowing may be asymptomatic. But usually there is arm pain, bluish fingers or cold hand, etc. Anyway, I would like to review his Doppler ultrasound report for a second opinion, if you would upload it on this site.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
