HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The blood tests and the imaging would have been looking to see if there was any particular cause for your hypertension.
This would include a hormonal cause, due to kidney disease, disease of blood vessels.
If these are all normal and all of the possible causes have been ruled out then you may have essential or primary hypertension.
This is the most common type of hypertension-where there is no obvious cause found.
I hope this helps
