I'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past week and I'm starting to worry it might be because of my smoking habit. Is this kind of cough something I should be concerned about, or is it a common reaction for smokers? What should I do to ease the cough, and should I be thinking about quitting smoking entirely?
