Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's oxygen levels. It's been a while since she was discharged after having COVID and bilateral pneumonia. She's been on quite a few medications, including the steroids Medrol and dexamethasone, as prescribed, and others like Perfenix and Cardace protect. The thing is, her oxygen saturation stays around 88-92% when she's resting, which I think is okay. But whenever she gets up to walk or just goes to the washroom, it drops to 75% and then slowly comes back up to about 90%. With the recent reports showing her CRP at 21 and ESR at 37, I'm anxious to know when her oxygen levels might stabilize and stay up, even when she's more active. Could you help me understand why this happens and what we might expect moving forward?
