Its called essential hypertension if all other causes are ruled out. I don't see a mention of renal Doppler. Get that done too and those kind of readings definitely need antihypertensives, whether life long or not is secondary. All causes shall be ruled out along with keeping ur bp in normal range. See a cardiologist asap
