Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns....
What is ur age? Do u HV any other co morbidities like diabetes or hypertension?
As far as hepatitis c is concerned you should get its treatment. You should meet hepatologist so that you can be appropriately managed. Do discuss the new drug name sovaldi for hepatitis c. Its a pill need to taken for at least six months.
Meet your doctor . you need to get your FBC LFTs hcv PCR as well as genotyping of HCV....
I don't think there z any contraindication of going in sun with hepatitis c....
Enjoy your life and get well soon
