Hello You being a young hypertensive you'll first need evaluation for cause of blood pressure. You should undergo test like kidney function test, renal artery Doppler, Sr cortisol and 24 hr Urinary metanephrines. Also get lipid profile and sugars tested. Besides, if your BP is persistently elevated above 140/90 then you should have medicine for it like Tab Amlodipine 5 mg once a day. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
