Are feeling extremely hot, nauseous, needing to poop, and feeling like passing out related to lupus symptoms?

Feeling extremely hot can definitely be a lupus symptom. Many people with lupus experience overheating, hot flashes, and sensations of burning from the inside out. This can happen during a lupus flare or when your body is fighting an infection.

The feeling of extreme heat might signal:
* An approaching lupus flare
* An infection (since lupus and its treatments can weaken your immune system)
* General overheating that people with lupus commonly experience

Nausea can also occur with lupus, especially if you're experiencing acid reflux or GERD, which lupus can trigger through inflammation of the esophagus.

However, the combination of feeling extremely hot, nauseous, needing to poop urgently, and feeling like you might pass out could indicate something more serious that needs immediate attention. These symptoms together might suggest a fever with infection or another acute issue.

It's important to contact your healthcare provider right away, especially if you feel like you might pass out. They can help determine if this is lupus-related or if you need urgent care.
