Should I Be Worried About Shortness Of Breath, Chest Pain, High Blood Pressure And Arthritis?
I am 41 yrs old female. Diagnosed with mild lupus 2 yr ago. Also have high blood pressure, bursitis and arthritis bursitis. I had an echocardiogram and wore a heart monitor two weeks ago due to these episodes of shortness of breath and occasional chest pain left arm pain and palpitations. Also my pcp said he heard something abnormal with stethoscope. I called the office to see if the results are in they said they had to be sent to a cardiologist to be read. Should I be worried?

Hello,
No, there is nothing to be worried about, although, what had been heard by stethoscope could be a mild abnormality of the valves function of the heart, which is treated medically.
