   What is the name of your medication? It might be a side effect of the medication or it might be something else.

   OK first thing, mention it to your doctor, it could be a side effect from the h/p med your taking. Their are a long list of h/p meds out there its just a matter of finding the right one for you, one without side effects,,,As far as the numbness and tingling feelings in your legs, I get that sometimes to, it comes and goes, I think everyone gets those feelings at one time or another, but talk to your doctor about that to he might do a blood workup, he might test for diabetes, or might even send you for a leg ultra sound just to make sure you have good blood circulation in your legs, It’s better to find out about it then to be worrying about it. Good Luck.

   It sounds like side effects and that it’s affecting your circulation. I would google your medicine’s name and check out the "call your physician if…" section.
