Every medicine which has an effect, it also has side effects. So please avoid self treatment and visit your Proctologist for fresh diagnosis and prescription.

It is generally not used as first line of treatment.
Hypertension at 22 years also needs detailed investigations to find out secondary etiologies
if not done you should have creatinine, electrolytes, usg abdomen with renal doppler done. Also get bp checked in both arms and legs.
You can start taking telmisaratan with chlorthalidone 40/6.25 once a day and increase to 80 mg if necessary.

Metolar is a beta blocker and it has mild anti-hypertensive properties and is not a first line recommendation for controlling BP, so you need a change in medication. Kindly consult a cardiologist for the change in medication. And also start exercising daily, begin gradually and increase to 40-45 mins, ensure that you are not taking too much salt rich foods like chips, pickles, chutneys, papads etc, if you smoke quit it, eat a healthy diet (take a detailed diet consult for the same)

Which antihypertensive where you taking before you got pragnant? To answer your query, nifedipine and alpha methyldopa are both safe in pragnancy. No effect on baby, not taking those medicine will hv effect on baby, high bp = less blood going to baby, not to over correct and be hypotensive as well, do not adjust dose of your antihypertensive by your self.
