High Blood Pressure is usually managed with medications based on the level of your Blood Pressure as well as the cause of the hypertension among other factors. This is in addition to dietary advice. If your condition has not improved despite treatment over the years, it could be that there are some undetected underlying problems that are making your hypertension incurable. In view of this, your best bet will be to see a specialist doctor at the nearest Specialist or Teaching Hospital to you for an expert treatment.
