Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The purple discoloration over the finger can be because of the ecchymosis secondary to the drugs you are taking for the hypertension particularly the blood thinners like aspirin or clopidrogel. Nothing to be panic, consult your physician and get it evaluated once.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
