Is your hypertension being treated? If so, you should be able to exercise normally. It's only if it's not being controlled that you need to worry. AND if you exercise, you should be able to come off the meds pretty easily (or at least in most cases this is true).

Now, if your BP is not controlled - get it controlled or wait for the meds to make it under control (usually takes very little time). Then keep an eye on it as you exercise, as your dosage will probably need to be lowered!

It is being treated but my doctor due to the severity of the level and my weight doesnt want to make my heart more stressed than it is. I have a Thick heart that he is watching. I was told when I lose some weight (about 25-30 pounds) I can do low cardio
