Blood pressure spikes

Has anyone here living with lupus also had experience with spikes in blood pressure?


  1. Thanks for reaching out. Cardiovascular issues including high blood pressure are complications associated with lupus. As we wait for others to sign in with their personal experiences, I thought I'd share this article that you may find interesting: https://lupus.net/complications-comorbidities In the meantime, we always recommend bringing any new or changing symptoms to your health care provider's attention.

    1. Earlier this year I got a complete heart-up, and my results were good. I am going to push to have a heart work-up every 1 or 2 years, to make sure nothing arise.

      1. , That's a good idea! Staying on top of things like heart health is so important in preventing issues or catching them quickly enough to get them treated fast!
