Wildly fluctuating O2 levels

Update on pulmo appt for lenchiksf.
Good news. The doctor is very suspicious that the Amiodarone could have caused the drop in lung capacity. He wants to retest in about 6 months when it’s all out of my body.
As for the fluctuating o2 levels, he said the fact that I do have a heart arrhythmia could temporarily affect perfusion.
He had me do the six minute walk test wearing a medical grade oximeter while he walked with me and I did fine. Not up to my usual standards, but I’m recovering from Covid.
Or, if my circulation to my hands was not good(I think the Amiodarone was messing with my thyroid too)

Thanks @kudzu . I am on holter monitor for two weeks now (till 8/8). Talked to my pulm md yesterday, i will also do 6 min walk test in pulm lab but its backed up her md. I didnt get to write down the term she used but she also referred to heart junction with lung that might be the cause to o2 drops.
Yes, check your tsh, t4, tpo. My tsh was 7 in June after covid, but we checked last week, went down to 1.4 which is normal
