HYPERTENSION has become a common disorder with 1 in 5 affected across the world..elevated blood pressure can be secondary(5%) to some other disorders ,or essential(95%),.
First you will need to establish the proper diagnosis of hypertension...a single home or hospital measurement of BP would not suffice... you will need a 24 hour ambulatory BP monitoring(ABPM) to firmly establish your diagnosis.
Second ,you need to exclude secondary causes of hypertension by doing a battery of tests
Third comes the management,which depends on the severity of the disease.
For an young adult like you with BP in the high optimal range, lifestyle modifications can decrease around 10 mmHg of SBP ( REDUCE WEIGHT,AVOID SMOKING, ALCOHOL,INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY,REDUCE SALT, INCREASE FRUITS CONSUMPTION)..

Hello,
High BP in 90% of the cases is familial as in your case. If its there in your genes you are bound to have high bp sometime in your life. There is no reason for it. You just need to follow a healthy lifestyle along with regular medicines to keep it in control.
Take care
