I've just received my chest X-ray results, and it mentions increased bronchovascular markings in my right lower zone and paracardiac region. Can you break down what that really means? I'm a bit concerned because I had a pneumothorax back in 2012, and now I'm feeling a dull, achy pain under my lower breast, kind of like rib pain. Do you think these issues might be connected, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I'm 21 and I've had asthma since I was 2. It's not super severe, but I do need to use my Foracort inhaler every day. I also like to work out at the gym. One time I tried whey protein and got hives from it. I'm wondering if taking amino acid supplements could negatively affect my asthma? Would love to know your thoughts.

just avoid it, there are many contents which can cause allergy

I'm 21 and I've noticed that my right hilar shadow is more prominent, and there are lymph nodes involved. I don't have a cough or fever, but I sometimes feel a bit breathless, which I think might be from worrying too much. Is this something serious, or is it normal? Should I be seeing a doctor about it?
