Hey, I got my x-ray results back and it mentions "bronchovascular marking prominent." I'm a bit concerned and not sure what that means. Could you help me understand what might be going on or if it's something I should worry about?

The prominent bronchovascular marking seen in your x-ray report indicates increased markings of the blood vessels and bronchial tubes in your lungs. This can be a normal finding or may indicate conditions such as infection, inflammation, or fluid accumulation in the lungs. To provide a specific recommendation, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the prominent bronchovascular marking. I recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a pulmonologist, who may suggest additional tests or imaging studies to make a definitive diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan (e.g., Robitussin) to help with any associated cough. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package.

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and was put on levofloxocin 500 mg antibiotics for 5 days, but there was no relief, so they switched me to pulmocef 500. Still, the cough hasnt improved at all. I've been tested for TB, and the results were negative, no fever so far, but I do have shivering hands sometimes. I've attached my CT scan reports for reference. Right now, I'm on Tacrolimus 1.75 BD, Cellcept 750 mcg BD, and wysolone 7.5 mg OD. Is there anything else I should be considering or any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I've been having a hard time taking a deep breath for the last 8 months. I can manage normal, short breaths, but I constantly feel the need to take a deep breath, and when I do, it just doesn't feel right. There's no fever, cough, or wheezing, but sometimes when I do cough, a tiny bit of clear, colorless mucus comes out. My X-ray came back normal, but I'm worried it might be COPD. I've never smoked, but I have been around secondhand smoke now and then. I'm still able to skip rope for about 4 minutes without stopping, and my SpO2 levels average around 98. Could you help me understand what's going on?
normal according to history, stop worrying
