Dear Mrs,
There is a little possibility that your medication can cause high blood pressure.
Sometimes they can cause high blood pressure in the beginning of the treatment but blood pressure normalizes after some time.
So, don't panic. If blood pressure is not more than 150/90, try lifestyle changes for 3 months, cut the amount of salt intake and exercise regularly.
Take care
