Have you had an ultrasound on your kidneys? I had high blood pressure at a very young age (hereditary) but just to rule out anything else, they checked my kidneys for pheochromocytoma. Essentially a benign tumor that restricts bloodflow to the kidneys and can send your system all out of whack.
You may want to have that if you haven't already, and also have blood test to check the ratio of renin to aldosterone. All of those can cause high blood pressure, and if you have no history, it's possible that your high bp is a secondary symptom of something else.

Well, I do have a high blood pressure that no one has been able to explain to me, so that may be part of it.
OMG, I'm the opposite! Now we just need to find a way to reach some equilibrium without getting both of us killed!

In other news there is literally nothing to do here besides get drunk and post stupid shit like above from my phone... Fuuuuuuck. Even getting drunk seems pointless.

No one has any idea. All I get is "it's probably hereditary." My dad's BP is sometimes high, but mine has been high consistently since I was in high school. Personally I think it's a bunch of bullshit, that none of these doctors have even bothered to investigate why someone in his twenties who's not fat or diabetic would have consistently high BP.
Pro-tip: Find a doctor that doesn't jump to conclusions.
Earlier this year I developed a strange problem breathing (well, it's been there for a couple of years now, but it didn't bother me until recently). Most doctors would just dismiss it as a cold.
Then I decided to see a better doctor and, after a series of apparently bizarre exams, he found out I had an abnormal bone growth inside my nasal cavity.
