Celeste, I don't mean to pry but did the doctors every figure out WHY you had such a high BP? I know it's easier just to throw a drug at a patient but what if the cause is treatable?

One cause of a high BP is renal artery stenosis. There are so many others.

Did they ever figure out if it's essential or secondary hypertension? Could you have an endocrine issue causing it?

Just trying to be helpful.
