Assalamo alaikum.
Thank you for posting query at HCM.
Your diagnosed with HepC.
you need NOT worry. HepC can be cured completely now. There are drugs like combination of sofosbuvir/ribavirin which may completely aid in curing the disease.
Exercise maybe discontinued if your Liver enzymes (ALT; AST) are 2 to 3 times the upper limit (means>100).
its better to let your liver enzymes return to normal and then you may continue to go Gym.
however, you may walk daily.
you are also adviced a special diet ( fat free). Avoid alcohol and take rest. Drink lemonade daily. LIv52 may also be adviced.
if possible, get an abdominal ultrasound, check Liver enzymes, crp and esr.
You may visit hepatologist and take your blood reports as soon as possible.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
