thank you.
you have tried several drugs but poor response.
at relatively young age with uncontrolled hypertension may have some secondary causes.
more common are hypo or hyperthyroidism,cushing syndrome,acromegaly,pheochromocytoma,bilateral renal artery stenosis,familial hyperlipidemia etc.
so,these should be considered & some investigations need to be done related to clinical features.
all of your clinical features are due to HTN & its complications.
consult a internal medicine specialist.
