A member asked:
Is it true that when your on your period.. you some can have loss of breath! bc i can't catch my breath and i heard it can be because of your cycle?

Maybe But ...: Maybe, but I an an Internist so I would try to rule out other more serious causes first, depending on how severe your "loss of breath" is. When you are having "loss of breath" what is your heart rate? Do you feel lightheaded? How long does the episode last? Do you have any other health issues involving you heart or lungs? Etc,Etc.Etc.
