Does Either Of Advair 250, Elavil 20 Mg Cause Increase In BP?

I am currently on advair 250, elavil 20mg (for pain management) and valsartan 160. My question is, does either of the first two listed cause blood pressure to increase? I am 54 years old in good health and physically active. I have been on advair and elavil for approx. ten years and shortly thereafter I started valsartan. I also lost 100 lbs in 2006 and my blood pressure did not go down. Please advise, thank-you

1)The Both ADVAIR250)& ElAVIL 20mg does not have any impact on High blood pressure
2)The second drug has been discontinued from market which is a anti depressant
3)valsartan 160 is good for it which is used for high BP but only restrict salt in diets.If required Tell your doctor to add 2 medications at a time for BP.
