Why Am I Having Strong Shocks In My Brain After Postural Hypertension?

I am a 23 yr old female, ive had two kids and ive been off anti-depressant medication since 2007. Recently ive experienced extremely strong shocks to my brain that are getting stronger and longer in duration each time. they ve happened four times now. Three of them in the last week. My brain gets a little fuzzy and then i get a shock, then another etc. i cant be sure how many shocks i get but the episodes have been lasting longer each time. it happened while i was walking before and my legs and feet felt very sluggish and heavy. I have also had postural hypertension since i was young and wondered if they were somehow related

Hi i read your query very carefully.

This is a typical reaction to hypertension and is called hypertension encephalopathy.

Hope it was of help!
