Not necessary: Although the factors you mentioned increases the risk for hypertension, they are not prerequisites. Many cases of hypertension is inherited. However reducing risk factors help and regular exercise will also be helpful. Reduce salt intake but if problem persists, need to see your doctor. If blood pressure is at or above 180 systolic, immediate attention is required.
