I don't understand the " I think it's gotten worse part". Aren't you checking it? Being monitored? I've had HBP (High Blood Pressure) aka Hypertension since I was 16. Even with medication it is in stage 2. Usually above 150/110. In my case, I've had three family members die of a heart attack. My dad, when I was 5, and two brothers. Get yourself monitored, and at the very least check your blood pressure with a monitor you can buy. Stay away from salt and any added salt in your diet, try to keep your weight down and get some exercise in. Even if it's just walking for 30 minutes a day. Avoid stress and anger if at all possible too. I've had decades of high blood pressure and now have cardiomyopathy (hardening of the heart). It's called Left Ventricular Stress. I wish you the best.
