HI,
Thanks for using Healthcare MagiC
In most persons, high blood pressure is called essential hypertension, where there is no distinct cause found. In others, the minority, there is a specific reason, most commonly hormonal. Some of the causes of this type of increased blood pressure are:

(1) Abnormal thyroid hormone levels
(2) High cortisol hormone levels
(3) Increased growth hormone
(4) Pheochromocytoma
(5) kidney disease
You can consider assessment for any of these issues.

I hope this helps.
