A member asked:
Can pulmonary pressure vary notably during the menstrual cycle? my echo results just after menstruation are always lower, before menstruation higher
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Pulmonary pressure as measured by echo is quite sensitive to hydration status, intra vascular volume, cardiac output, systemic blood pressure, etc and all those factors change with and independently of menstrual cycle
