You should be fine. The concern is that being too hot will lower your blood pressure which could make you dizzy and/or collapse. So don’t sit in it for hours at a time. Also make sure you stay well hydrated (lots of water). I got my info from my cardiologist when I asked about sauna use.

Tend to agree with Steve but check with your medical team first. It may be that as you have BP issues getting this under control needs to be done first.
