Lupus and heart

I recently had some tests done that look like I have Lupus. I am being sent to a specialist for additional tests. What I am wondering is I have had these symptoms on and off for the past year and I also have had heart palpatations and a diagnosed sinus tacy for the past year what I want to know have you seen or heard of this happening to someones heart and it being lupus related. The heart racing and palpatations?  Can lupus affect your heart in this way. Any input you have would be very helpful
Thank you

Lupsus can certainly affect the heart. It can cause inflammation around the heart, jsust as it can cause inflammation elsewhere. This may trigger palpitations occasionally. The treatment of lupus involving the heart is no different than treatment of lupus involving other parts of the body. However, palpitations are a common complaint and do not necessarily need to be related to the lupus.
