Multiple things: Severe hypertension, sbp 160+ often requires multiple medications (likely for life) as well as decreasing the sodium in your diet. Exercise and weight loss will help as well. Since you're in your 30s it is reasonable to look for 'other' causes or rare causes of high blood pressure.
