I been treated for sle lupus for 20 years now they tell me I got sarcoidosis I been having trouble breathing for a min now they say it my heart one heart doctor ask me after he look at the test why did they say I needed a stint so he refer me to another heart doctor... Can you get sarcoidosis confuse with that
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, acidosis can not be confused with coronary artery disease (CAD). You must be having blockage in any of the main coronary vessels which needs stenting. You already have SHE (Lupus). This causes arthritis and thrombosis in coronary arteries. So you should definitely undergo stenting. No harm in it. And it is not misunderstood with acidosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
