A member asked:
Why does systolic pressure decrease during inspiration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure: Simple answer, it doesn't always increase with inspiration. It is a complicated interplay of hemodynamics and respiratory physiology, body position, body fluid status, cardiovascular condition and status and other factors.
