hi..
such high blood pressures and that too, 2 times in last 5 months definitely needs to be adressed.
if there is a mass found on the kidney,the there are high chances of adrenal abnormality / pheochromocytoma.
in my opinion, you should not wait and watch. u should go ahead and confirm the mass and diagnosis.
thanks
