What reason, other than being overweight or stressed, could cause high blood-pressure?


I've lost a lot of weight, changed my diet to a healthy one, and exercise regularly, but my blood pressure is still high, sometimes higher than before I did these things, with headaches.
What else could cause it? I'm now about 16 lbs more than I should be, not massively overweight.

In addition to stress and obesity Other Causes are : 1. Genetic factors : heredity, Race.
2. Excess sodium intake, -low potassium diet. 3. During withdrawal of alcohol in alcoholics 4. Smoking. 5. Sedentary life.
high sodium intake can cause it....do you eat lots of frozen dinners or packaged foods? i'm not specialist but i do know that sodium is one cause of high blood pressure that you didn't list.
If you have a family history of high blood pressure, then you may have to take medication to reduce your BP. Sounds like you've done great so far, but if you need the med to keep it under control, take the meds. High BP is so bad for you. You mentioned that you've adapted a healtthy diet, have you lowered your sodium? High sodium can cause high BP. Good luck!!
cardio-vascular disease.
Genetics. Sometimes, no matter what you do, it is in your genes. You may want to exercise. That may help
Inherited predisposition. From your answer alone, we can tell that you're very upset by this. This is causing stress. Try to not obsess so much about it. Do something that relaxes you instead...gardening, walking, sex...whatever.
May want to consider arterial or athero sclerosis.
