Can Anyone Tell Me How Long A Covid Survivor With Copd Will Be On Oxygen?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I was discharged from the hospital on March 3 after spending ten days being treated for COVID-19, hypoxia, and bilateral pneumonia. I also have COPD and asthma. The hospital doctor sent me home with continuous use oxygen. I’m wondering if anyone else has been in the same/similar situation and may be able to tell me about how long I can expect to be on 24/7 oxygen.
