I'm feeling these weird bubbling sensations on the left side of my lung and sometimes on the lower right side too. I've been worrying since I used to smoke for about 4 years, but I've quit now. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

Can you tell me if it's okay to use normal saline instead of distilled water in an oxygen concentrator? Or maybe there's something else I could use as a substitute for distilled water? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.
