Absolutely call the doctor. Their job is to answer all of your questions, no matter how simple or silly you may think they seem.
For the record, NO QUESTION is simple or silly when it comes to pregnancy health.
I had high blood pressure during my first pregnancy, too. Some of these symptoms could be due to high blood pressure, but then again, it could be some nasty pregnancy side effects that are perfectly normal. So definitely be aware of the importance of asking the doc ASAP, but try not to think it can only be the worst.
If you are able to go to a doctor's office or health department when you are experiencing these symptoms, they will test your blood pressure free of charge. If you do that, be sure to keep record for your doctor.
Best of luck to you
