Sorry, I always associate the word 'soy' with 'soy sauce' which is contraindicated. Here in the UK 'soy' is usually reffered to as 'soya'. Lecithin is FINE, so is soy/soya milk & even soy/soya 'live' yogurt (e.g. Yofu). Not sure about Tofu though - might be best to avoid that. Basically, ALL foods that have been fermented, including soy/soya fermented products, are best avoided. It is the fermenting process which creates the Tyramine content of foods.
And its not just Tyramine to avoid - other chemicals in food can trigger hypertensitivity too. Some foods contain L-dopa - Fava beans & Broad bean pods are examples & should be avoided. Not sure about the broad beans themselves though, might be best to avoid - hardly a dent in ones diet!
