1) It is important to find out why you have developed hypertension at such a young age, I hope you have been thoroughly evaluated by a cardiologist to find out the cause, if not then please consult a cardiologist for a thorough cardiac evaluation. 2) At this age first line of management is BP control through lifestyle changes and diet modifications if that does not adequately reduce BP then we can add some medications. 3) 40 mins of daily exercise, quitting alcohol and smoking and eating a healthy diet on the lines of DASH recommendations are lifestyle changes required. 4) It will be good to be under follow up of a cardiologist so that you can be routinely evaluated and your treatment modified accordingly.
