That sounds really rough, and it's completely understandable to feel frustrated when you're not getting the help you need. Those symptoms together — low blood pressure, low temperature, weakness, dizziness, and fatigue — are worth taking seriously, especially with lupus in the picture.

That sounds really rough, and it's completely understandable to feel frustrated when you're not getting the help you need. Those symptoms together — low blood pressure, low temperature, weakness, dizziness, and fatigue — are worth taking seriously, especially with lupus in the picture.

A temperature of 35.3°C is actually below normal, which can be a sign of hypothermia. With lupus, this can sometimes be linked to:

- Certain medications (like corticosteroids at high doses)
- The hypothalamus being affected by lupus, which regulates body temperature
- Comorbid conditions like hypothyroidism, which is more common in people with lupus Low blood pressure at 90/60 combined with dizziness, weakness, and fatigue is also something that needs proper attention. If your symptoms continue or worsen, please consider going to an emergency room rather than urgent care, as they are better equipped to investigate what's going on.

Some things to watch for that would mean going to the ER immediately:

- Confusion or slurred speech
- Fainting
- Feeling cold or weak on one side of your body
- Sudden severe headache or vision changes

Please don't tough this one out alone — push for answers from your lupus specialist or rheumatologist as soon as possible. You deserve proper care. 💙
