I'm feeling a bit confused and worried because my Spo2 level is at 98, which seems fine, but my pulse rate is pretty high. When I saw a radiologist, they mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. I'm not showing any other symptoms, so I'm just wondering, is this something normal or should I be concerned?
