Hi,
Uncontrolled hypertension can very well cause lightheadedness and blurred vision which is a hypertensive emergency and needs immediate medical care. Fast acting drugs will then be used to lower your blood pressure. You need to immediately visit your doctor to determine the cause and to provide you with prompt medical care.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
