A member asked:
Is chest pain a symptom of lupus arthritis flare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but...: Lupus flare up can cause inflammation of the pleura and pericardium (sack around the lungs and heart respectively) which can cause chest pain. However it is important that you see your doctor to be sure there is no coexisting coronary artery disease as well.
