High blood pressure

I am almost 14 weeks and struggling with high blood pressure. I know they say it’s not because of the pregnancy because I am so early but I didn’t have it before I was pregnant. I started off with 1 times a day procardia er 30 mg and now taking it two times a day. My pulse has been drastically higher since I started taking it and was wondering if anyone else has the same symptom. Is anyone else in the same boat as me with not being able to manage blood pressure and any tips?
