I'm still experiencing a mild cough even though my TB treatment seemed to have cleared everything up. Is it normal to have lingering symptoms like this after treatment, or should I be concerned about something else going on?

I've been smoking for about three years now and every time I light up, I start feeling this weird pain on the right side of my chest, near where my thymus is. It seems to go away after like 15 minutes, especially if I press on it, then I usually burp a few times and the pain just disappears. I'm a bit concerned, is this something I should be worried about?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm trying to understand what the normal SpO2 level should be for a healthy person. If someone has a reading of 95 or 96, is that still considered normal, or is it lower than what it should be? I'm a bit concerned about the implications of these values.

Yes,normal nothing to worry ok.
