I am currently experiencing a swollen/bloated belly and a full feeling. I have been feeling this way for almost two weeks. I also feel as if something is in my throat and chest, and when I sing I can not hold my notes as long. I give out of breath when I sing and that is unusual. I am having some lupus activity and have been since my last doctor visit last month.

Has anyone had the same symptoms? I stopped the predisome two months ago but I am on plaqunil. I know that it is not gas build up and especially for this long with the way my belly just expanded. I plan to visit my doctor at the end of this month but I just wanted to put some feelers out there to see what it could be. I searched the web and it seems that I might have the issue with sack around the heart swelling but I don't totally have all of the painful symptoms that they list. I think I might also have the vascilitis issue (had blood clots twice and now varicose veins and a large dark mark has formed on the front of my shin which I figure might be a leg ulcer).

I appreciate any feedback.
