Hi,
Thanks for writing in. I read your question with diligence. Without examining to guess the cause for swollen lips is not fair. I hope you are taking medicines under supervision.
High blood pressure that is hypertension is usually without any symptoms most of the times. That is why it is rightfully called silent killer. Please consult a doctor who will thoroughly examine you and decide the test for the cause and consequences of blood pressure. There is no drug of choice but choice of drugs for hypertension. It is high time that you ought to be taking not only treatment for hypertension but also be aware of your status with respect to other risk factors of coronary disease. Those are high bad cholesterol, low good cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity with lack of exercise and stress. Good Luck.
With Best Wishes
