I have been having random symptoms about 6-7 months ago my heart rate was in the high 40s so I was admitted in the hospital before this I experienced a lot of stomach gas, belching, and random sharp chest pains. while admitted in the hospital I had several ekg's, an echo of the heart a holter monitor and was released said I may have been dehydrated. from there until now I have had numerous symptoms ranging from head to toe. the worst being neck back pain ( I think muscular, random sharp pains over my heart that last no longer then a second, a lot of gas and belching random shortness of breath with slight cough ( allergies maybe) . I have been. After the above mentioned tests I had a ct with dye of the chest to check for embolism and have had a stress test 24 hr bp monitor and 24 hr heart monitor and numerous other blood tests and no answer. I also devolped a rash on my nose and sometime ears. I think it would be maybe lupus but doctors seem to think different I have seen about 12 er drs and my family dr and three cardiologist

Have you had your gall bladder thoroughly checked?  They kept giving me the test and it kept coming back negative for stones. Finally found dr who agreed to exploratory surgery based on symptoms & family history. He said it looked terrible so he encased it in bag before touching it. Gall bladder exploded the minute he touched it. I was able to get by with small incisions and 6 months of antibiotics. Every symptom went away once this was removed. I had no stones. It was diseased & infected and I could have died without this surgery.

We don't really deal with Lupus here, since this is a thyroid forum.  The only connection between Lupus and most thyroid disease is that they are both autoimmune.  

My daughter has Lupus and your symptoms don't match hers, but of course, I'm sure different people can have different symptoms.

Have you had any antibody testing done to help confirm/rule out an autoimmune condition?
