Unclear : Yes, heart size and function grossly can return to normal in cases of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy. Coreg, ace inhibitor +/- aldactone (spironolactone) can effect remodeling and normalization. However, it is not well known if stopping meds will cause reversion of positive gains. Having said that, u and your cardiologist ought to try and have close follow up.
