Hi,
It can rise a bit if cause of low blood pressure previously due to low heart beat is present once that heart beat is restored it may rise, back. You can use lisinopril to control it without interfering with pacemaker.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
