Hello the higher pressure may be the result of all the symptoms you describe. As he is young all work up for secondary causes should be done... Smoking, binge drinking and other precipitating causes should be stopped. Weight reduction if obese and some exercise started. Cut on salt in diet. And consider medication as per your doctor.
