Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all, we are sad to know that you have been suffering from health issue. High blood pressure can be managed by Amlodipine or Losartan and it's also a best medication for high BP. Usually these drugs doesn't affect your leg at all. Maybe it's coincidence that you got sciatic pain and it's because of that. For sciatic pain, you can use vitamin B12 tablets, like Neurobion Forte.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
