The issue is why is your BP so low & how much this contributes to your marked fatigue. Are any of your meds causing the low BP? Any anemia? Also chronic inflammation as seen in autoimmune disorders is a cause of marked fatigue. At this time I think you should back off on vigorous exercise as you're whipping a tired horse, I recommend a cardiovascular workup.Cardiovascular disease is common.in SLE
