High blood pressure uncontrolled may be due to Renal problems or salt consumption or CKD or anxiety or Septicemia etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Daily exercise and yoga may helpful. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
