From the reports i feel he is obese ...
So he has obesity, high uric acid, and borderline diabetes... All are causes of hypertension...
So he requires urgent life style modification...

His medicines will have to be changed. Once the medicines are changed, his blood pressure will come in control and will remain normal at all times. It is very urgent that you start immediate treatment, as he is just 18 years. If medicines is started early, then he will be completely alright.
