I’ve been getting a splotchy red rash on my chest and neck when I have bad anxiety/stress and once I calm down the rash goes away. Didn’t know if it was related to Lupus/Sjogrens at all.

I get this too. No ones ever been able to give me a clear answer, sorry. It sucks because I have social anxiety so when the rash/flushing appears I can't even fake it, then when people ask what's wrong with me and it just gets worse. I've started trying to make it a joke saying "sshh, it can hear you". I notice mine comes when I'm too warm, angry, upset, nervous, embarrassed- usually emotional based but sometimes random. Some people mention blood pressure but I doubt that's it because my bp is clinically low. If you ever find out please let me know. Have a great day
