Suggest Methods To Reduce Bp

I am 27 and was diagnosed with high blood pressure when I was 25. My father had high blood pressure and died of a heart attack at 49. I've been on Bystolic 10mg for the past 2 years. And I can still feel my blood pressure rising, my face gets hot and flushed, and my heart rate rises. The last several times I've checked my bp it's been 150+/ 85+. I've had an ekg that was fine, a chest x ray, and blood work that all came back normal. Not sure where to go from here.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

It is possible that there may be additional another problem , which should be investigated.

I would suggest :: Thyroid function tests/ 5-HIAA testing and others for carcinoid syndrome/ color doppler of the renal arteries and whatever your Physician may suggest on detailed clinical examination.

If he is denying , consult another one for second opinion...
Till then continue this treatment.
A proper history, clinical examination, investigations as per these findings alone can lead to a proper diagnosis . This is most important to lead to a proper management/ treatment.
I find this answer helpful
