COVID-19 Recovery

Though the acute phase of the pandemic has passed, COVID‑19’s lingering impact—especially on pulmonary health—remains significant. Many survivors, particularly those with underlying lung conditions, continue to face breathlessness, fatigue, and radiographic lung changes months or even years after infection.

Pre-existing asthma increases the odds of developing long COVID by 41%, while COPD raises it by 32%.

How Texas IPS supports your recovery

Our COVID‑19 Recovery program focuses on regaining strength, improving lung function, and enhancing quality of life:

• Comprehensive lung function evaluation, including DLCO and pulmonary function tests
• High-resolution imaging to monitor lung healing and detect fibrosis or scarring
• Tailored pulmonary rehabilitation, combining supervised exercise with breathing strategies and education
• Individualized symptom management, including strategies for breathlessness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances
• Close follow-up, monitoring physical recovery, mental well‑being, and return‑to‑work readiness

Up to 20% of patients continue to experience symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or sleep disturbances three years after severe COVID-19.

Who benefits from our COVID-19 Recovery program?

• Patients experiencing persistent respiratory symptoms (e.g., shortness of breath, cough) more than 4 weeks after COVID-19—regardless of initial illness severity
• Those with declining exercise tolerance or return-to-work challenges
• Patients with preexisting pulmonary conditions seeking support for post-COVID recovery

At Texas IPS, we’re dedicated to supporting your long-term journey—helping you breathe more comfortably, move with confidence, and rebuild your life after COVID-19.
