I've been noticing a strange sensation whenever I take a deep breath, like something's moving in my windpipe. I've checked multiple times and even had an X-ray, which didn't show anythingjust air. I do deal with a lot of gas in my bowels. Could it be gas moving in my windpipe, or is it something else? There's no mucus or phlegm coming out, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?

My dad just got a chest x-ray, and it says he has prominent branchovascular markings on both sides. I'm really worried about what this could mean. Is it something serious that we need to be concerned about?

I'm experiencing some discomfort and pain on the left side of my rib and chest area, especially when I take a deep breath. It also gets worse if I sleep on my left side. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain, inflammation, or possibly something related to your ribs or lungs. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like a rib injury or respiratory concerns.
