Stuck Lifter.. or so i think

Right now when I start my car it makes a rattling/ clanking sound then it has a periodic clank about every second at idle and the higher the rev the faster it goes. It all started because it was really low on oil (I know, I know...stupid me). It also has very low oil pressure (I think it was around 10psi or less at idle and upto 50-60psi at full throttle.) I have had a few people suggest that its a bad lifter but is there an easy way to check if it is.
Also if it is a bad lifter how hard and expensive is it to fix because I will be doing it my self and if it is cheaper to part with the car then I will just sadly go that route.
