High blood pressure: The doctors white coat may have caused your increase in blood pressure. However, have your doctor check your urine, your eye grounds and get an ultra sound of your kidneys to rule out possible cause. If you are taking medications or otc products inform your doctor.

Probably: I am sure this has happened to more than one person, it can be very traumatic specially if this person was apparently healthy and his/her death was unexpected.

Not to worry: Benign: Visual sleep starts were first described in the german literature as jolts or bolts of terror (schreckblitzen) or waking bolts or jolts (weckblitzen)the only danger is that you could develop a fear of sleep because of them or an anxiety disorder. They are triggered by stress, caffeine, exercise before bed.

Yes this is normal: You are referring to what is common known as a "sleep twitch." these are absolutely normal although they may be aggravated by anxiety, stress or excess caffeine intake. Sleep twitches usually decrease in frequency as we age. If they are of concern, ensuring proper sleep hygiene may decrease the number of twitches you experience.
