Is swelling of the hands or fingers a symptom of high blood pressure?

I already take two meds to control my BP but I've noticed that if I forget to take it my head starts to hurt and my fingers swell up.  I just want to know if the swelling is a symptom of the high blood pressure or coming from something else.
