Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation.

I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.

It is important performing some tests to determine the cause of your symptoms:

- lab blood tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood glucose)
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound to examine your cardiac structure and function
- a brain MRI. The blurring vision and headache could be related to possible intracranial complications of lupus. That is why a brain MRI is necessary.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
