Post COVID pneumonia on oxygen at home. How long does O2 weaning take?

Yes it was 3L.. She checks in with her PCP weekly until she has her first visit with local pulmonologist (Jan 31). The PCP has been guiding her in trying the weaning. He seems concerned of higher heart rate, but my daughter’s PO with 02 even at 1.5Lis 98%…… so she tries to go without but her heart rate continues in the 100s with or without 02. So I presume she she stay at at least 1.5L til her heart rate goes down, even with hi PO? I encouraged her to contact her PCP today for better understanding/clarification. Thanks for checking in!

Hi Susie, I'm tagging fellow members @ineedanswers38 @darypary @erichess @sueinmn who I believe have some experience with being on oxygen while recovering from COVID.

Susie, was your daughter able to take with her PCP and get clarification about her heart rate and oxygen levels?
