Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

While headache and dizziness are common symptoms associated with high blood pressure, transitory sight loss is a potential serious concern.

If that happens again (but you should be sure it is a loss of vision, not blurring) you should consider transitory ischemic attack and you should seek emergent medical care.

You should not be worried, but concerned.

Hope this helps.

Wish you the best health.
