What Are The Symptoms Of Sarcoidosis?
Hi I have a friend who is experiencing lacrimal gland swelling, general body aches, and yellowish vision from one eye. She has in the past had and-ray that revealed 3 dark spots. She also has all over body aches and was wondering if this could be Sarcoidosis?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Sarcoidosis is multi system disorder. And affect all most all organs of the body.
The most commonly involved organs are
1. Lungs. Hilar and lower zone nodules.
2. Skin. Sarcoid tubercle.
3. Brain. Meningitis and sarcoid nodules in brain.
4. Eyes. Conjunctivitis and iritis.
5. Kidneys. Glomerulonephritis. Etc.
So your friend's symptoms may be due to sarcoidosis.
But he should first get done serum ACE level. If this is high then possibility of sarcoidosis is there.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
