Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Either accelerated hypertension or paroxysmal hypertension might be the cause. You need thorough evaluation for sudden rise in BP and syncopal attack/short of hypertensive encephalopathy to come to a conclusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
