High BP. Nervous Tick In Eye, Lethargy, Nervous And Jittery After Starting Benazepril. History Of Taking Altace With Amlodipine. Suggest

I just started 20mg of benazepril this morning. I was taking 10 mg of Altace as well as well as 5 mg of Amlodipine. Since my blood pressure has been running high 150/90 my doctor said to stay on the 5 mg of Amlodipine and try the 20 mg of benzepril. I have noticed a nervous tick in my right eye which is very unusual for me. I've also noticed that I am more lethargic than normal, but am also nervous and jittery and I do not feel normal. What should I do?
