Does Pleural Effusion Effusion Cause Fluctuating BP?
I am a 49 YO female. I have already have a 60% left pleural effusion with a calcified mass. I have a paricardial effusion, mitral and tricuspid regugitation and an undefined problem with the appendage of the heart. My BP has fluctuated over the last month from 72/44 to 138/75 with a pulse rate of 106. I also have considerable abdominal edema. I have 2 cardiologists looking at my tests, but have not had a definitive diagnosis, as of yet. Could someone please give me some input on this.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern because the valvular heart disease you must be having effusion and blood pressure fluctuation, but you need to read the blood pressure with the physician, because if you are going to read this on your own then there would be much chances of error, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
