Of Course: And as an added bonus, the exercise will likely help lower your blood pressure further.

Depends: If your blood pressure is adequately controlled than yes. If it goes above 130/90 than not until i is controlled. However, certain b/p meds like beta-blockers can limit how fast your heart can beat while exercising and could potentially cause sluggishness.
