Stopped taking htn mess 2 month ago. now feet/ankles swollen. is this side effect. is it ok to start htn med again without seeing dr?

Uncontrolled: hypertension can certainly cause foot swelling. It would be okay to start your medication again, but I would advise you to follow up with your doctor anyway to make sure the medication is doing its job.
