Ive been having trouble breathing for the past few weeks, and being an asthma patient, Ive been using my inhaler and nebulizer like usual, but this time they dont seem to help. I recently got a chest X-ray, and while it looks okay, I noticed it mentioned PCOD. I also had a COVID infection back in June 2021. Im really worried and not sure what to do next. Any advice?

I'm 65 years old and just got my X-ray results back. Everything looked normal, but it mentioned that both hila are congested. What's that mean? Should I be concerned? I don't have any breathing problems, just a rib fracture on my 7th rib.
