Does noticing prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure on an X-ray mean I have chronic bronchitis, or is it something that can be treated and cured? Is this something I should be worried about?

View allI'm an ex-smoker, having smoked about 510 cigarettes a month for 56 years, and I quit just a month ago. I'm really worried because I'm experiencing chest congestion and I'm producing sputum, though it isn't thick. I'm also noticing mild labored breathing whenever I exert myself. I have a chronic dust allergy, and my recent chest X-ray showed I have mild sinusitis. The main worrying sign right now is that I hear a low-pitched whistling sound when I breathe in. Can you please advise me on how I can help heal my lungs from all the damage over the years?
Do regular breathing exercises, avoid allergens

I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?
no ,it is normal, your body requires this medicine

I've been having trouble sleeping for about 4 months now. It began with daily nightmares and not feeling rested, but lately, it's just that I'm not getting enough good rest. I checked my oxygen with an oximeter, and it dropped to 73. I've got an appointment at the end of the month for a sleep study consultation, but I'm wondering if I should go to urgent care instead. My symptoms are getting worse, and I'm barely managing. What do you think I should do?
Saturation is low 73.. .Patient is advised pulmonologist opinion immediately.
