I appreciate your health concerns
Swelling legs and feet need to be investigated. There is need to look at your HEART, LIVER and KIDNEYS. Based upon the history provided , in my opinion there is need to review your antihypertensive medicines. Apart from it, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY should be done as well.
Stay calm and continue with your medicines. Avoid salt intake and meet your doctor.
