Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you are getting seizures due to the hypertension, and there also may be atherosclerosis.
It should be confirmed that the hypertension is always under controle, and never touching the higher reading.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T.scan,and E.E.G. for diagnosis.
Avoid taking the drugs, having seizures as a side effect like antihistamines, fluroquinolone antibiotics etc.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
