Dear- Hypertension is a condition that 90 % of the time is idiopathic,meaning we don't have a reason for it. The remaining 10% could be secondary to renal problem or any other identificable disease. It is important to keep a low salt diet, exercise and weight control in order to have a better blood pressure.Lopressor is not a strong hypertensive and you might need to change the treatment or add another antihypertensive. Stress also agravate it and might be an additional factor.
