Hello,
You should be checked by your Neurologis6t for these issues. Since you suffer from high blood pressure, a minor stroke should be considered and evaluated. Imaging of your brain (CT and MRI) also are necessary for a correct diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
