I think your doctor can give you a better answer than anyone of us can.
Just please don't over do it.
Take it easy.
One step at a time until your doctor gives you the ok to do more.
Ask him what type of exercise you can do and for how long.

I am glad to hear that you are having your heart checked. I would suggest however that if it checks out fine that you have your thyroid checked. Especially for a condition called Hashimotos. I and many of my family have this thyroid issue and you can have what is called a thyroid storm that can mimic what you have described. Just a heads up I am not in the medical field and in no way know everything there is to know.

Have you ever looked into one of those mini bike where it is just the pedals that sit on the floor. I am not sure what they are called but I can see how they could be very handy for anyone who has a lack of space or needs an exercise that can be done in short bursts.

Hope things go well at your appointment. Ask your doctor lots of questions let him/her know what you are doing.
