They still take BP after fitting a pacemaker so I see no problem there. Wrist monitors can be inaccurate particularly in the over forties so I would recommend one that uses the upper arm.
After being fitted with a pacemaker some people find their BP goes down because of the more regular heart beat.
Hi. I have a pacemaker had one for 18 years and I use my wrist BP monitor daily. I have compared it with an arm one and results pretty much same so have confidence in using it.
I have a small pacemaker and have no issues with no testing
