I would suggest you look for secondary hypertension by renal artery Doppler for renal artery stenosis, 24 hour urine VMA and metanephrines for adrenal gland tumours and serum renin: aldosterone ratio. I suspect high aldosterone levels and if so, a drug like Spirinolactone would help control BP . 155/100 is still high and needs to be brought down.
