Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. Cysts in the kidney are actually quite common. You haven't mentioned your age or gender. B.P.can be easily controlled, with medication, after a basic check of your ECG, TMT, and Echo scan, if advised. But a septated cyst in the kidney, needs to be investigated further with a CENT.(contrast enhanced CT).  Your B.P., may be related to the cyst. You may send the reports to me for an expert opinion.
