Can High Blood Pressure Cause Fainting And Muscle Spasms?
Is it possible that a person with high blood pressure 158/117 to lose consciousness and have erratic muscle spasms and loss of balance (falling) to the left then regain consciousness with no memory of the event and normal speech and balance afterwards to have fainted? This spell lasted about 15 seconds. There were two of these in ten minutes and a third one hour later.

Hi,
No, the episode you are describing can never be because of high BP and is definitely a brain event. I recommend you to urgently see a neurologist and further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
