Question 3

I'm really curious about the results of my chest X-ray. The doctor mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what that actually means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal?

Prominent bronchovascular markings is suggestive of asthma,pneumonia,heart failure or pleural effusion etc.

Got a chest CT scan showing something blocking the chest passage. How serious is this? Would surgery be needed or are there other ways to remove it?
