View allI'm really confused about my chest x-ray results. It says BVM, but I'm not sure if that means bivascular markings or bronchovascular markings, or if they're actually the same thing. I had the x-ray because I was checking for swollen lymph nodes. What exactly does BVM mean in this context? Should I be worried?
Prominent bronchovascular markings is seen in infections ,bronchitis, asthma,bronchopneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension.

I've been using an asthalin salbutamol inhaler for the past 20 years. I'm wondering if there's any other option available that's similar. Also, how can I monitor or check my asthma attacks better?
If you're looking for alternatives to Asthalin (Salbutamol), your doctor may prescribe other bronchodilators like Levalbuterol or Formoterol, or combination inhalers that include an inhaled corticosteroid. To monitor your asthmatic attacks, consider using a peak flow meter, which measures how quickly you can breathe out air, and track your readings to identify patterns and potential triggers
