Hello and thank you for your question.
Blood pressure can be high for many reasons. If you gain weight on the Seroquel that can be a cause. Seroquel does not usually cause elevated blood pressure. However, naproxen can cause elevated blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about another pain medication that does not do this. Other ideas are to lose weight if you are overweight, avoid all salt, exercise regularly and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Regards
