Hi,
You being an young hypertensive you first go for evaluation for cause of blood pressure. You should undergo test like kidney function test, renal artery Doppler, Sr Cortisol and 24 hour Urinary Metanephrines. Also get lipid profile and sugars tested.
You should start on tablets like Amlodipine and other medicine depending upon your blood pressure value. You should follow lifestyle modification like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day till BP is controlled then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 minutesa day and 5 days a week.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't be abdominal fat deposition or obesity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
