Please under go tests to rule out secondary hypertension. Sr creatinine, usg abdomen, renal doppler and cardiac evaluation, diabetic profile. If everything normal, it is primary hypertension. Change your life style, avoid bad habits, stop smoking and alcohol.

Hello, the cause of hypertension in 90 % of cases is hereditory. But since you are too young to have a bp of 180 you need to be investigated for secondary causes of hypertension like renal artery stenosis, chronic kidney disease, pheochromocytoma, obstructive sleep apnoea, etc. Take care.
