Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you're worried that a high blood pressure will precipitate a seizure, then please don't. Seizure control is individualized, so you'd better stick to your neurologist's advice regarding the treatment measures that have to be taken. I have to notice though that you're not taking drugs for seizure control or you haven't mentioned them. Regarding your blood pressure, it is possible that your blood pressure is not under good control although random high readings may occur in every patient. Be warned though that naproxen makes blood pressure control difficult. Pain control on the other hand is important both for patient comfort and to avoid blood pressure elevations due to pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis
