Background: Using smartphones has become part and parcel of daily life routine. The number of individuals using smartphones on a daily basis is rapidly growing. Many persons have complained of mechanical neck pain, especially after using smartphones for extended periods without intervals, which could affect pulmonary functions in a negative, noticeable way. Purpose: to evaluate two parameters of pulmonary functions; PtcCO2 and PEF. Methods: 100 smartphone addicts with mechanical neck medical complications of both sexes were enrolled in this study. Delta University students were the participants in the current study. Subsequently, the range of age is 18 to 25. Results: The results of this investigation showed that the mean PEF and PtcCO2 values within the study group and the anticipated normal value differed statistically and in a crystal-clear way. Conclusions: Mechanical neck pain was found to have a considerable deleterious influence on pulmonary functions in a smartphone-addicted spectrum of people.
