Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Can systemic lupus erythematosus cause difficulty breathing?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus, if there is pulmonary disease of the second level of neurons after, is very likely to experience respiratory distress again. However, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm whether it is accompanied by pulmonary disease. In fact, there are also some diseases that can cause respiratory distress. The more common ones are pulmonary inflammation and heart disease. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the specific cause after a clear diagnosis before confirming the specific cause and formulating a treatment plan.
