I've been finding myself taking really deep breaths and yawning quite often, especially when I'm just relaxing. It's weird because it doesnt bother me at all during sleep. Ive gone through all the tests and everything checks out fine. My family doctor mentioned it might be stress or overthinking, but Im not really convinced. I can't help but keep thinking about these long breaths. I also deal with acidity issues. Could these things be related? Any advice on what's going on would be really helpful.

I've just got the results from my premedical checkup for a job in the Gulf, and the X-ray showed that I have prominent broncho vascular markings in both lungs. I had a lot of phlegm when I was a kid, but that was sorted out a long time ago. I dont have any signs of tuberculosis or asthma, my weight and appetite are both good, and I havent had any fevers. My doctor said its not a disease, comparing it to a scar from an old injury. What does this mean? Should I be worried or is it nothing to stress over?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
