    Shortness of breath/breathing issues are rather common symptoms of lupus.
    This article that may provide some interesting information: https://lupus.net/respiratory.
    In addition, fatigue is probably the most talked about condition in this community.
    Lupus fatigue can be attributed to many things including: flares, inflammation, infection, gastrointestinal issues, medications, and lack of sleep due to pain (just to name a few).
    I'm including a link to an article that you may find helpful when dealing with shortness of breath and fatigue: https://lupus.net/living/self-care.
    As always we recommend bringing any new or changing symptoms to your healthcare provider's attention.
