What Causes Sudden Fainting And Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?

Hi my mum fainted yesterday she is 79 she was on her own at home and could not get up off the floor she dosen t know how long she blacked out for but she was on the floor for over half an hour, she has only told me this today when I visited her I took her blood pressure and it was 166/82 then it was 177/72 the 172/75, I called the Dr and he said it was fine but to have some blood tests done he didn t seem too concerned but I am not sure I agree with him. What do u you think I should do?
