I'm a bit concerned about what my x-ray report is showing. It mentions mild increased peri hilar bronchovascular markings in both lungs. Could you help me understand what this means? Is it something serious or should I be worried about it?

So I've been having this annoying cough lately, and now I'm feeling this weird pain on the left side under my rib cage, right below my left breast. Do you think the cough could be causing the pain, or should I be worried about something else? Its kinda freaking me out a little.

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my allergic asthma that's been going on for 20 years now. Every March, it seems to get worse, and I've been using the Seretide Accuhaler 50050mcg for the past 15 years. Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty in breathing and a tight feeling in my chest. I just got my chest X-ray done, and it showed haziness in the left lower lung zone with prominent vascular markings. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned.

The haziness in your left lower lung zone and prominent vascular markings could indicate mild inflammation or fluid retention in the lungs, which may be related to your asthma or a respiratory infection. It's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment adjustments to manage your breathing difficulties and chest tightness.
