With any potential serious medical condition it is best to take the advice of your doc, he will have all your case history and information no one on this site could get access to (especially as you have no profile). However I do think you should raise these questions with your doc, he may be able to suggest a happy medium. I do not know much about hypertension (so that is not a suggestion of what to do) but I find it hard to believe that a totally sedentary lifestyle is good for your health either mentally or physically. Sorry I could not be of more help.
