Hello,
Hypertension can develop in young individuals also. It’s advisable that you should consult a cardiologist and get an Echocardiography and abdominal ultrasound done to rule out renal artery stenosis which could be a important cause of young hypertension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
