A member asked:
Is low bp and lightheaded spells a common thing in people with lupus? i never had this issue before i had lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: this could be side effects from medications we use for lupus rather than direct effects from lupus itself. stay well hydrated, use suncreen, and follow up with your doctors as recommended. best wishes
