Hi don't want to worry you but should get it checked I had a pain under my ribs for couple weeks I did go to dr got some antibiotics. Sort of helped. On Wednesday this week met my friends for Christmas lunch really didn't feel like it but thought I should go fed up cancelling as feel lousy. I had lunch walked back to car really didn't think I would make it pain in my chest in centre down breast bone and when I breathed the air was really cold set it off again got home husband said to phone dr he said go to hospital turned out it was pneumonia in hospital for day on I v antibiotics which has made such a difference pain no where near as bad have antibiotics to take for further 5 days on double dose gp gave me The consultant at the hospital in medical assessment ward is so lovely have seen him about 3 times now and he said next time with your history please don't leave it he said was rather there is nothing really wrong you really won't be wasting my time. So please just get it checked if you have a good dr I m sure they would rather check to make sure there is nothing wrong

Hi Tay171 ,

Lupus can cause pain in the chest/lungs for various reasons and it is worth getting yourself checked out. We have a factsheet about lupus and the heart & lungs which has a bit of information you may find helpful; lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Blood clots? I have a huge bruise on my leg out of nowhere now to

Bruising can be a symptom of lupus if your platelets are affected and it can also be a side effect of some treatments such as steroids.

Blood clots can sometimes occur in lupus if the person also has antiphospholipid syndrome. You can learn more about this at aps-support.org.uk/
