See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, basic investigation may be necessary... At this age, one should go for extensive investigations, to evaluate secondary causes for hypertension – kidney, hormones (adrenals) and so on. Pheochromocytoma, for example, can typically causes wings... A cardiologist or Nephrologist is the option
