Does anyone have any advice on what kind of exercises I could do that won't make it hard for me to breathe or cause stress on my heart? Thank you.

Really your doctor should have advised you on exercise with your existing complaints, I would advise going back.

Gentle swimming and yoga are usually fine for most people as they are low impact but I'd check with your Dr first to be sure.
