Is it possible for someone with 80% lung damage, maybe from COVID-19, to recover? She seemed to be getting better, but now the doctors are telling us to bring her home and that she might not survive more than a month. They mentioned that only prayers could make a difference. Is there really nothing else we can do?

View allI'm a 28-year-old woman who works out regularly. My mom has a pulse oximeter at home and I decided to use it just for fun. When I was resting, my blood oxygen level was 99, but after a short run on the treadmill it went down to 86. My heart rate was only around 130. Usually, I work out a lot more intensely than I did during this test. I'm worried that I might unknowingly be harming my body. Do you think I should get this checked? If so, what kind of doctor would be best for evaluating this situation?
It's understandable to be concerned, but a drop in oxygen saturation during exercise, especially at high intensity, can happen, particularly if you're pushing your limits. I recommend seeing a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to evaluate your lung and heart function. They can conduct tests like a stress test or pulmonary function test to assess your oxygen levels and overall health during exertion.
