Lupus headache: A headache can cause a lupus flare. Best see your rheumatologist for evaluation and treatment.

See below: Sometimes it can feel like the flu, but see your doctor whether it is your primary or rheumatologist to make certain your blood pressure is normal since you are having headaches---however the headaches could be from other things such as sinus problems.
