Has chronic kidney disorder been ruled out?  The dysfunction of the adrenal gland can be an underlying problem. Coarctation of the aorta - A narrowing of the aorta that you are born with that can cause high blood pressure in your arms.  Thyroid dysfunction should be ruled out.

Then there is ideopathic essential (primary) hypertension and the cause is unknown and can be hereditary.
