There is a huge change in your glasses RX over the past two years especially in the astigmatism (cylinder) part.  It may take you a week to get use to the new RX. If they still bother you in 7-10 days contact the ‘doctor’ that wrote the RX and ask for a glasses recheck.  That means they test the glassses to see if made correct and re-test the glasses RX. You should ask ahead of time if they are willing to do this at no charge. That is customary land what we do in our office. Do wait 3-4 weeks as if changes are necesssary whomever made the glasses will usually make once change without charge in the first 30 days but after 30 days you are usually stuck with glasses that are not clear or com\fortable or both. Strong glasses like yours are difficult to prescribe and difficult to make properly in the glasses frame.

Is that normal? It seems like it went up to much form 2 years. I’ve read that when they go through the lens we sometimes pick one that’s over powered instead of pick 1 or 2 lens before
I can only make the assumption that you saw a competent doctor and the RX is correct. There is no predictable way of telling how myopia and/or astigmatism will progress like telling how tall a 5 year old will be.
