Yes all 3 symptoms can be from an AI disease which should be checked for by a rheumatologist. Your PCP might do some screening tests but a thorough work up is needed by a rheumatologist to get an accurate diagnosis. Then treatment can be initiated. I hope you follow through on this especially since your EKG shows an old infarct. There’s a high percentage of Lupus patients with APS ( about 30%} 9/10 lupus patients are women. Good luck!

Thanks again, much appreciated!! By the way, the "EKG old infarct" was from someone else's post. If you were to guess, what kinds of treatment medicines/options would be given? I just want to have some relief!!
