Why Does One Have Blurred Vision?

Hi, Just an hour ago, John s vision blurred and he saw lights, couldn t read numbers on his cell phone. I took his blood pressure and it was 145/78. (My husband s doc. seems to think it is ok for John s blood pressure to run a little high.) I made him lie down. He rested 30 min., vision back to normal. HE got up and started to do a few things but still felt light headed, so he is lying back down again, his blood pressure 151/81. What does this sound like to you? He takes 10mg of a statin once a day and no blood pressure meds. Otherwise always healthy and athletic. Thank you. Rebecca
