It would be best to have someone go with you to monitor you for light-headedness, dizziness, or anything else that could endanger your safety. The sauna works by dilating your blood vessels on the exterior of your body to facilitate heat exchange (sweat) which in essence should lower your blood pressure temporarily. However, your heart will compensate by trying to pump harder which essentially could exacerbate the symptoms of high blood pressure on the heart muscle itself.
I understand that high blood pressure medication causes you to feel pretty awful but taking your medication regularly is the best way to control it. Weight loss by diet and exercise are also effective at lowering blood pressure and if you are going into the sauna to try and "sweat off" some calories, you would likely be better served by spending the time taking a walk or just being up and active.
