The code for essential (primary) hypertension, I10, does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension. There are just two base codes for patients with hypertension and heart disease: I11.0 (with heart failure) and I11.9 (without heart failure).

Syncope is in the ICD-10 coding system coded as R55. 9 (syncope and collapse).
Fainting caused by pulmonary hypertension can occur anytime, but it often happens with exercise. It is caused by increased blood pressure in the blood vessels that deliver blood to the lungs.
Syncope and collapse R55. The ICD10 code for the diagnosis "Syncope and collapse" is "R55". R55 is a VALID/BILLABLE ICD10 code, i.e it is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions. R55 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out." It most often occurs when blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump enough oxygen to the brain.
Prescyncope is when you feel as if you're about to pass out, but you don't actually faint. It's sometimes referred to as near syncope. You may also feel lightheaded, sweaty, nauseous, warm, and weak, or have a fast heartbeat or blurry vision. Presyncope can be caused by the same factors that cause syncope.
ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
Essential (primary) hypertension: I10 That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
ICD-10 code I95. 9 for Hypotension, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
2 and R55, Syncope due to a third-degree atrioventricular block. When no related condition is defined and the symptom is the reason for the encounter, a code from Chapter 18 is assigned as the principal diagnosis even though other unrelated diagnoses may be listed.
Vasovagal syncope is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure, often triggered by a reaction to something. This causes your heart to slow down for a short time. As a result, your brain may not get enough oxygen-rich blood, which causes you to pass out. Vasovagal syncope is typically not a serious health condition.
Over a 24-year observation period, patients whose syncope was attributed to vasovagal or other causes had a mortality ratio of 14% and an excess death rate of 20. Neurogenic syncope had a mortality ratio of 168% and an excess death rate of 34.
To immediately treat someone who has fainted from vasovagal syncope, help the person lie down and lift their legs up in the air. This will restore blood flow to the brain, and the person should quickly regain consciousness.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as I10.A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Note. This category is to be used to record an episode of elevated blood pressure in a patient in whom no formal diagnosis of hypertension has been made, or as an isolated incidental finding.
A hypertensive emergency (Systolic over 180 or diastolic over 120)(formerly called "malignant hypertension") is hypertension (high blood pressure) with acute impairment of one or more organ systems (especially the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and/or the renal system) that can result in irreversible organ damage.

High blood pressure usually has no symptoms. It can harm the arteries and cause an increase in the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and blindness. A disorder characterized by a pathological increase in blood pressure; a repeatedly elevation in the blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mm hg.
Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: The codes in category I13, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease, are combination codes that include hypertension, heart disease and chronic kidney disease, and should be used when there is hypertension with both heart and kidney involvement. If heart failure is present, an additional code ...
CKD should not be coded as hypertensive if the physician has specifically documented a different cause. The appropriate code from category N18 should be used as a secondary code with a code from category I12 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.
When assigning diagnosis codes for hypertension (HTN), there is an presumed causal relationship between hypertension and heart involvement, and between hypertension and kidney involvement. The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (I.C.9) instruct, “These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated.” The Guidelines further specify:

A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to stroke, organ damage, heart attack, and more. The Mayo Clinic defines extreme high blood pressure as “a top number (systolic pressure) of 180 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or higher or a bottom number (diastolic pressure) of 120 mm Hg or higher.”.
Hypertensive Emergency. If your blood pressure reading is 180/120 or greater and you are experiencing any other associated symptoms of target organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision, or difficulty speaking then this would be considered a hypertensive emergency.
If your blood pressure is 180/120 or greater, wait about five minutes and try again. If the second reading is just as high and you are not experiencing any other associated symptoms of target organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision, or difficulty speaking, ...

A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., brain ischemia).

Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include dizziness, blurred vision, and syncope.
