Question 1

could you get shortness of breath due to menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Well, this is not an uncommon complaint. I doubt if it is related to the bleeding itself as if you are anemic that should be present throughout the cycle. Of course, it probably is related to hormone levels which are lowest during the bleeding. Doctors at the cleveland clinic discovered that blood flow to the uterus and lungs increases during the first 2 weeks of the cycle so that may be pertinent.
