Please don't take any medication without consultation with some specialist as prakriti is very important to take care into consideration.
Acupuncture and Ayurveda combined together helps in recovering a lot in very short time.
As for now you can give pressure daily for 5 minutes on a point located between two eyebrows ajna chakra...And twisting of little toe of both foot will reduce your slip disc pain.
Hot fomentation is recommended.

Heavy stress and hypertension is a very bad combination even for a young age like you. Phycological stress affects the muscles and causes pain many times.
Body and Mind are highly related to each other . Disturbance to one will affect the other too.
What form of aswagandha you are taking. As you don't have diabetes, arishta form will be better.
Next Steps
Have a detailed consultation.
Health Tips
Don't carry the stress as in long term it affects many of your normal activity.
Crush 3-4 Garlic piece and boil in milk. Take the filtered portion (50ml) empty stomach in morning.
Check BP regularly
Have a Healthy body and peaceful mind
