Chest pain is also another common symptom of lupus and can also be called myocarditis. Myocarditis is the inflammation of the muscle tissue in the heart, which causes pain and irregular or a rapid heartbeat. This symptom can also be mistaken for blood clots in the lungs. Shortness of breath is also a frequent occurrence in those with lupus who suffer chest pain. Many with this type of chest pain will fear the worst and rush to the hospital, but once the pain is identified and managed, it may not be as dangerous as it first seems. Lupus-related pain can also affect the entire body and headaches, joint pain, and cause fever and other viral infection like symptoms. Adequate treatment of lupus will lessen the likelihood of frequent chest pains.
