General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
As you are having high blood pressure, transient ischaemia attack should be ruled out. This causes weakness, blurring of vision, headache lasting for few seconds to minutes. If the symptoms increases then consult neurologist for proper diagnosis.

Thank you
