Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lupus and the high blood pressure. It will be nice to make sure that they are not related. As for a drug, given your several allergies, it will be good to careful review and monitor closely after initiation of treatment to make sure there is no allergy that is being missed.

I will also recommend the service sod a cardiologist. For a possible drug free of sulfa/sulfide, I will recommend the class of drugs called beta blockers. The most commonly used drug here is propranolol. Talk to your doctor and get this validated for use.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for any clarifications and more information if need be.Also, are you on any medications for Lupus? What are your most recent blood pressure readings?
