I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, fever, and I just don't feel like eating much these days. I had an x-ray done and it says my bronchovascular markings are prominent. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've had this issue with breathing for the past 15 to 20 years, and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes I can take a deep breath through my nose and mouth, but other times it feels like I just can't breathe deeply at all. My nose gets blocked frequently, and even after using Vicks, it opens up but doesn't quite give me that 'free' feeling of breathing. Also, when I sleep on my stomach, food often comes up to my throat, causing me to choke and wake up. My stomach feels bloated for hours as well. I've been told it might be anxiety, but I'm not sure. I can comfortably climb up to three floors, but anything more leaves me breathless. I've done an ECG, ABH test, BP check, and even a chest x-ray which showed some congestion but everything else was normal. Stress tests from six years ago were normal too, and I still struggle to understand what's going on. Could this really be anxiety, or could there be something else affecting my breathing?
Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about my oxygen levels; my SPO2 seems to fluctuate from 89 to 99, and it's usually more stable between 92 and 95. I also have frequent throat infections because of sinusitis draining into my throat and occasionally deal with upper respiratory infections. Could these issues be affecting my oxygen levels? My recent master checkup was normal chest X-ray, ECG, and echo all clear. Ive been using a fingertip home pulse oximeter for measurement. Lately, the throat infections are happening more often. What should I consider or do next?
Frequent throat infections and sinusitis can cause fluctuations in your SPO2 readings, especially with post-nasal drip affecting your airway. However, since your chest X-ray, ECG, and echo are normal, its less likely to be a major underlying issue. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult with your doctor if the infections persist or worsen.
