I'm experiencing continuous pain in my mid rib and chest muscle. I've had a cough and sometimes feel dizzy and short of breath. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?

I've just gotten my X-ray report back and it mentions something about my bronchovascular area. Everything else in the X-ray seems fine. I don't have any cough, haven't been smoking or drinking, and really don't have any bad habits. Can you help me understand what it means? Is this something I should be worried about?

Prominent bronchovascular markings include lung infection, asthma and oneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension etc. Tab augmentin 625mg ,orally,twice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.
