Brief Answer:
Hypertension is a multifactorial condition.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, thank you for writing back to me.

Hypertension/high blood pressure is a multifactorial (Many causes) condition and in your case it is likely to be genetic predisposition playing the major part.

Other secondary causes such as pheochromocytoma need to be ruled out.

It is not easy to identify a single contributing factor for hypertension in any individual, as everything from genes to diet to work related stress can result in high blood pressure.

We would consider even a single reading of diastolic pressure of more than 100 to be highly significant, and if the first reading itself is shows a diastolic pressure of more than 110 mm of Hg, we call that malignant hypertension or accelerated hypertension and both these conditions require urgent care and treatment.

I hope this clears your doubt.

Wishing you good health.

Best regards
