So basically take it easy until your heart makes a come back, i.e. don't start an exercise program now. Unless you are well over 6 feet tall, at 220 pounds you are well over your ideal body weight and will benefit greatly from dieting and exercise when you recover from all of these infections and their effects on your system. You should expect regular follow up with the doctor, and there is a good chance that in June your LV function on echo will have returned to normal, i.e. because a large portion of patients with viral cardiomyopathy do recover. I hope this information is useful.
