Hello
Thank you for getting in touch with us. From what I make out, you have hypertension from the last 5 years. It would have been better if you would have told us about the medicines you are taking. If medicines have not been effective so far, it is quite possible that you have secondary hypertension (increase in blood pressure due to an underlying cause which can be identified). The underlying cause can be diabetes, kidney diseases, pheochromocytoma. So it will be appropriate if you get in touch with your local health centre and undergo a complete check up to find the exact cause. Hope this helped.
