You are still a bit too young to have hypertension, although you may have a higher risk of getting it since your father has hypertension. If you were able to lower your blood pressure to normal levels just by eating healthier, then, just continue on with your healthy lifestyle. I don't think that you really need to take medications yet since your blood pressure isn't really that high and it only happens once in a while. However, just make sure that you continue with a healthy lifestyle. Maybe, you would like to add more physical exercise to burn those calories and lower your weight. this can help a great deal in keeping your blood pressure normal.

You can also try taking garlic pills and such to help keep it down. but the best is always exercise and a proper diet.

Hope this helps.
