I had a heart attack and now I am on a literally do no physical activity or anything that will raise my heart rate higher than if I were to walk into a building and back to my truck only when necessary. I will be on a temporary for 7.5 months total. I was told literally do not do anything as I have Myocarditis (infected and enlarged heart). I understand the severity of this but I am also concerned about my career. I also am wondering what will happen with my P status as I am on the Mandatory Integration List and my APFT expires in 53 days. Will I get my P status back once I pass an APFT? Will I have a career after a 7.5 month temporary do nothing profile? My work capacity on this profile is sit at a desk for 4 hours a day max. Research online is overwhelming because it is like a flow chart on 8 different pages lol

What you need to do is go back and speak with your PCM and ask them this question. But, if I were a betting/guessing man, you will probably face an MEB/PEB after your profile ends and re-evaluated. But, again, that is just a guess. Speak with your doctor about this.

That must have been a hell of a heart attack. They had me running 6 weeks after mine! The whole idea of rehab was to get my heart rate to 140 without having chest pain.
