What Does Painful Swelling On Legs And Hands With BP 124/94 Indicate?

My legs, ankles, hands, feet, face, have been swelling over the past 5 days and progressively gotten worse. The swelling has now become a little painful to the touch, and has me worried. When I checked my blood pressure yesterday it was 124/94 and this also has me worried. What could these symptoms mean?
