I'm really worried about my recent chest x-ray results. It showed increased bronchovascular markings in the right basal region, and I'm not sure what that means. The report also mentioned the cardiac shadow appears normal but the hilar shadows are prominent, and the right cardiophrenic angle is hazy. The bony cage is normal and the trachea is central, but what's concerning me is the right basal bronchovascular prominence. Could you explain what all this might mean for my health? I'm not really familiar with these terms and would appreciate some clarity.
