I'm really worried about this issue I've been having with my lungs. A year ago, I had an X-ray that showed my lungs fields are broncho vascular prominent, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath since then. My doctor didn't prescribe any medicine or treatment at the time, and now I'm unsure what to do. Is this condition treatable? What steps should I take to manage my symptoms?

My dad has been dealing with COPD and asthma for the past decade, and now hes got to use oxygen at home around the clock. Were using a cylinder with the supply kept at point 1, but Im wondering if switching to an oxygen concentrator would be a good idea.
