Which key parameters I should monitor at

Which key parameters I should monitor at home My PFT values have been decreasing, and I’m planning to buy a home spirometer. There are many devices available—some measure only one parameter, while others measure multiple. Could you please advise which key parameters I should monitor at home, and which device would be best for accurate and useful results?

You didn't mention any respiratory condition. Do deep breathing excercises. Do incentive spirometry 4 to 6 cycles per day.

We need to find out the cause for declining values in pft and treat accordingly and rather than purchasing home spirometry I would advise to take pefr device for home monitoring… and practice deep breathing exercises and use incentive spirometry device to increase lung capacity
