I'm really worried about my mom's chest X-ray results. It mentioned bilateral prominent vascular markings and small calcified hilar nodes, and it suggested some kind of inflammatory etiology. I'm not really sure what all of that means. Could you explain it to me in simpler terms? What should we be looking out for or considering next?

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath when I'm talking and especially after walking up the stairs. This has been going on for about three days now, and it feels like I'm under a lot of stress just to breathe. It's almost like what Id imagine an asthma attack to feel like. I've never dealt with anything like this before. What could be causing this sudden difficulty in breathing, and should I be worried?

might be due to asthma or reduced blood
