hi
your echo findings are due to the hypertensive changes( as you are known hypertensive)
you can meet your treating doctor to start you on anti cholesterol drugs with antiplatelets (if not contrindicated)
& continue your hypertensive medications
you can play & exercise but not to that extent, to get too much exertion,by which you can develop breathlessness or discomfort.
take care
