Is My Blood Pressure Reading A Cause For Concern?

I have high blood pressure just since early March. Never had high blood pressure, and not only high but stage 2. The doctor put me on Amlodiine Besylates 5mg. The ER doctor gave me lisopine 10 mg, but it made me sleepy and lack of appetite. Anyways, when I went to see her at the beginning of month she looked at my numbers since I started taking the meds and said they looked good. Last night my right foot and ankle was slightly swollen and my blood pressure was 160/101. I have also been constipated the last few days.
