Epileptic Seizure?

I woke up from a long nap to find that I was very dizzy.I was taken by ambulance to the ER.Every test done to check blood sugar,the heart,and for possible stroke,turned out normal.So I was diagnosed with vertigo,given a prescription for Antivert and rehydrated by IV since I was a little dehydrated.I forgot to mention that my blood pressure was VERY HIGH,although just two weeks prior it was very good.My question is could I have had some sort of seizure while sleeping,that left me with the vertigo and HBP? FYI,I have grand mal epilepsy.

After doing more research,it seems those symptoms can also be caused by MS and other conditions.

I did some research on this issue since I really needed an answer.What I came up with was Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA).Sounds like what my mother was suffering with at the time of her death.But she was in the late stages.
