Could High Blood Pressure Medicine Cause Constipation?

Took a laxative but have not use it. I have a serious problem with constipation anyway, I always have to take something to go, but now nothing is working, it's making me worry. What should I do? I am also on high blood pressure medicine, could this help cause the constipation? I am having some pain in lower part of my stomach.
