Welcome to healthcaremagic. Family history may or may not be in causing high BP. To me your e cigarette may play some role, but not very sure. In any case you have to take anti hypertensive medicine decided by your doctor. Don't make it an issue why and how. It may occur to any man. Keep yourself happy, start morning walk, some exercise that's all, rest leave on your doctor & his medicines. I will be happy if you get some relief from my advice.
