Secondary causes...: ... Of hypertension include kidney problems, endocrine problems (thyroid, adrenal gland), rare tumors, sleep apnea, other medications. The list is pretty long and varied. If you're young and have high blood pressure, or are not being controlled with three different blood pressure medications, you definitely need to see your doctor and get a thorough workup. Good luck!

Heart disease: Poorly controlled blood pressure can result in heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart valve disease, kidney failure, blindness, and early death. There are specific blood tests that can determine if one type of blood pressure medication would be better than another.
