Hello,
Thank you for the query.
This is the case when genetic factor come out even if you have done all your best.
So I think this is essential arterial hypertension and you have to cure it in order to protect other organs as kidneys, brain, heart etc.
I suggest a visit to the cardiologist to have a prescription of anti-hypertensive drugs.
