Unfortunately we are unable to make diagnoses in this forum. Lupus can cause chest pain but this may or may not be the source of your problems. I would suggest seeking care at a medical school or county hospital and explain your financial situation to them. All hospitals are required by law to treat you in an emergency and most are willing to work out a payment plan for non-emergent care. I hope you find this information useful.
