High Blood Pressure and Uteran Cysts

Hello, I have always had phenominal BP, 110/70. In the last 4 months (around the time I opened a pizza shop, much stress) my BP has shot up to around 170/105. I have also been bleeding 80% of the time for the last 6 months. My Dr. ran some tests and said that I have uteran cysts that are probably causing the bleeding. (which also caused anemia so I am taking iron pills) She put me on Nuvaring and the bleeding has stopped for the most part but the beginning of the third week I've started bleeding and cramping. As for the BP, she put me on Lisinopril (Lupin) at 20 mg. I have been taking this for just over a week and my BP has actually gone up, so she told me to start taking two at bedtime, I've been doing this for four days now and my BP continues to rise. Could all of this be related somehow? The anemia, bleeding, BP, cysts? I am 38 years old and there is history of high BP in my family, is it possible that I am just now beginning to take on the family history? Also, I was very prone to large clotting when on my period, now with the Nuvaring in I feel the pressure as I did when I would pass a clot before inserting the ring, now instead of a clot blood just comes out. I know this is a lot of questions, I just wonder if they are somehow all related? Thanks for any help. Beth
