Same here. I think as do many others HBP is the reason for much of the heart attacks and even more so kidney failure you see. Mine ran way too high for too long and while now it is fully under control and monitored, I know I have some permanent damage from it.
Those are the catastrophic impacts but 30yos aren't thinking about that as they're so rare at that age.
What should motivate everyone however, is the slow cumulative damage of "micro aneurisms", progressively degrading cognition along with loss of memory, vision, hearing, sense of smell, even joint damage and erectile dysfunction. All silently happening with no discernible effects, and now evidence shows much of this destruction attributed to "aging" is unquestionably avoidable primarily by lowering BP.
