Hi, welcome to healthcare magic
Hypertension or
high blood pressure can be classified as primary or secondary. In
primary hypertension there is no specific cause that can be highlighted, there may be a strong family history.
In
secondary hypertension there is another condition that is causing the high blood pressure such as hormonal problems.
Even though you have a strong family history family history of hypertension, because of your age, you should still be screened for any secondary causes.
One of the main causes of non responsive or
resistant hypertension is excess blood volume which can result from- persons being given too much fluid, retaining too much fluid which can occur in excess salt intake and also in the absence of a
diuretic.
Diuresis is very important in hypertension, you are more likely to have kidney disease as a result of your uncontrolled blood pressure thant the medication.
You need to consider taking the medication suggested by your doctor.
I hope this information is helpful to you
