Fentanyl, like most opiates, actually reduces your blood pressure. Being both a vasodilator (opens the blood vessels) and a depressant, opiates relax the body, and with the blood vessels open wider, blood flows more easily. This is also why you feel cold when the dosage gets low - the blood vessels are constricting.
Of course if you have serious issues in your arteries or veins like plaque, etc., or have high blood pressure to begin with, it might not help, but in most cases it won't affect it unless the patient isn't tolerant or is allergic. That's rarely the case since Fentanyl isn't prescribed for those who aren't already using a lower dosage of opiate by oral means.

All people are different though, so it's not germane to everyone.

Nortryptiline is actually occasionally prescribed along with Fentanly patches as an augment drug (doesn't work for most people). As far as blood pressure med, you can take them, but it's best to wait until you're patch dose is adjusted to see what your BP is going to be. Fentanyl, like most opiates, tend to lower blood pressure, and taking anything additional could lower it too far.
