I have been getting a lot of palpitations and skipped beats this past year. Just finished several cardiac tests and the heart is normal sinus rhythm so now I need to dive deeper to see what's causing this. Its creating a lot more fatigue which makes the cardiac symptoms worse. My cardiologist thinks its from the lupus, so wondering if anyone here has this issue.

Omg. You are the first one that I’ve known to have thus problem. I also have severe Leg Pain. Times I can’t even put cream on my legs because it hurts so bad. I’m a walker and have been for 25 years or so. Due to the pain it saddens me that I can’t do the one thing that gives me pleasure. I’ve cut back because of Lupus your not suppose to be in the Sun. So I wear protective clothing. It’s just not the same. I need to feel the Sun on my body and feel the warmth on my face. It lifts me Somehow just knowing someone else has leg issues makes me feel just a little better. Thank you for your post. Blessings

Check to see where your Ferritan levels are at. If they are high it’s due to inflammation from the Lupus. High Ferritan causes High Fatigue Heart Palpitations Chest Pain and Weakness. Hope this helps. Blessings
