Breathing difficulties Lupus-related?

OK so here's the thing.    about 3 weeks ago  I  left  Malaysia and entered into Thailand. ALmost immediately after entering into Thailand, I started having difficulties with my breathing . Because of my major Lupus flare that happened this past MArch , my rheumy thought that perhaps my breathing problems were Lupus-related (however,  I have never had breathing problems in my entire life).  Needless to say , I found the most reputable hospital I could find in Southern Thailand and got achest x-ray and pulmonary function test.   The results came back perfectly. The Internal Medicine Doctors that I met with told me my breathing problems were actually NOT Lupus-related and that my lungs are just having a difficult time adjusting to the muggy/humid climate (it is the beginning of rainy season here in Thailand).  However, I'm still not convinced......

So, I was wondering -have any of you experienced breathing problems that were related to your Lupus?  The problems I am having , are that I  can't seem to inhale enough air/oxygen. I'm always taking very deep breaths or trying to yawn because my "normal" breaths are not satisfactory.  I'm not in pain - it's actually annoying more than anything.  I am taking bronchodilators (that seem to help) as well as an asthma med (although i don't have asthma  ) and a mucolytic.  I 'm wondering if I'm being over-medicated????? I don't like that fact that I have to be on these meds as well as my Lupus meds for the next few months.

Any thoughts on this?           

Thanks!                    

Jen-

My lupus problems at this point are strictly related to my lungs and breathing.  I have shortness of breath, lupus pneumonitis and pulmonary hemorrhage. 

I think that when there are any infiltrates or cloudiness in you r chest x-rays they seem to be fairly obvious.  If the doc said that it is just the humidity it very well may be just that. 

We will pray that the results stay unrelated to your lupus.  Enjoy the rest of your trip.  Best wishes.
