Hello,
You can do it but make sure you gradually intensify your activities. You also measure your blood pressure immediately after exercise in order to confirm you are not having very blood pressure response after the exercise. Also, In general very heavy activities should be avoided rather you do prolonged moderate exercise.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
