Can sle cause chronic heartburn?

No.: Sle is not associated with heartburn, per se! however, if you are taking Prednisone or other steroid, this can worsen heartburn!

Unlikely: Esophageal reflux is not a component of lupus but is common in the general population and can be a side effect of meds commonly used to treat lupus.
