Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

I will give you some suggestions that may be helpful. You can ask more questions if you have any.

Presence of symptoms of abnormal vision, loss of conscious are more related to the diagnosis of fits/epilepsy.
It is very much possible that your medicine for blood pressure are causing these symptoms as they alter the blood electrolytes.
Important point is to diagnose this and rule out other causes.
We can do this by getting blood electrolyte levels, CT/MRI brain are needed to rule out other cause of these symptoms.
Another point is that if you have shortness of breath or activity or at night on lying down then we need to rule out underling poor heart function as the possible cause and this needs ECG and echocardiogram test for initial evaluation.

I hope this chat has helped you.
