Hi everyone! First a quick introduction - my name is gail, I live in the uk and have been diagnosed with lupus & aps for two years. I have a history of dvt and was only diagnosed with both disorders by chance (lucky me). Have a great gp, consultant & specialist, but not one to bother them much as normally ok, thanks to plaquenil, meloxicam, aspirin etc. But, have been feeling especially tired and run down of late (probably overdoing it :roll: ) and this past week have been bothered with breathlessness and chest pains (either a short stab or almost constant dull ache over my sternum, into my shoulders and down both arms). The breathlessness got so bad I got an emergency appointment with, not my normal, gp and to cut a long story short I was ambulanced off to hospital. I had all the tests (chest, lung x-ray, bloods, ecg) and they found nothing.... It persisted for a couple of days, but does seem to have eased, though still a little breathless (on walking) and still the dull chest pain. Not sure what to do now and thought I would ask if anyone else has experienced anything similar ?

It obviously isn't anything nasty, but I do have that "what if its" going on in my head and though the docs can't come up with anything, someone 'closer' to lupus may have a clue!!

Your opinions will be gratefully received :wink:

bye for now!
