Hello,
It seems you have suffered from an episode of hypertensive urgency which leads to the symptoms of a headache, dizziness, and blackout.
I don't think it should be ignored and you should get an ECG done as soon as possible and also consult a physician for prescription of an antihypertensive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
