Its good to get BP under control. Yes colonoscopy is done under sedation special for patient with anxiety issue . With proper sedation BP will also get minimized.

Usually colonoscopy is done under mild sedation..and sedation tends to decrease the blood pressure. And if BP is not too high...you can undergo colonoscopy without any contraindications.
Another option is colon capsule endoscopy. That you can discuss with Gastroenterologist.
Next Steps
kindly take consultation with Gastroenterologist for more details.

First of all why do you want go undergo colonoscopy? Kindly give details on symptoms. Regarding colonoscopy in hypertension then thats not much of an issue if there is a competent anesthetist and usually a single dose early morning antihypertensive dose is enough for the procedure.
Next Steps
Describe symptoms first
