What Causes Sweating, Paleness, Unconsciousness, Blurry Vision, High BP, And Vomiting In Elder?

My soon to be 81 year old Mom was very upset with my brother who is undiagnosed but most likely level 1 autistic/asperger. She was telling another brother of something that happened and was becoming very angry. She looked pasty, broke out in a sweat, very hot and blacked out. Was not clear where she was when she came to. Vision was blurry for about an hour an a half. Her blood pressure was up. Later that night flu like symptoms with vomiting.

Hello,
She needs to be seen by a doctor. Blacking out in an elderly person can be a sign of infection, anemia or stroke. She needs an exam and blood work done to make sure that nothing serious is going on.
