By all means: I'm glad you're working out and i wish you the best. Cardio will also help maintain your health. Hopefully your hypertension is being treated properly. Perhaps a curble cause of your hypertension may be discovered -- renal artery stenosis from a minor birth defect is often missed in young, otherwise-fit hypertensives.
