Other causes apart from tension/anxiety includes
Essential hypertension. In more than 80percent of cases its essential hypertension which means hypertension without any cause. secondary causes includes certain adrenal disorders such as conns or cushings etc. But normal creatinine rules them out. Non modifiable risk factors such as positive family history may also have an influence
