I'm a bit worried after my recent chest x-ray which showed prominent bronchovascular markings. I've been dealing with allergic bronchitis and I'm wondering if that's the reason behind these markings. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray can be seen in various conditions, including allergic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis; in your case, allergic bronchitis is a likely contributor, but it's essential to follow up with your doctor to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed, and to rule out other potential causes

What is the actual test to determine if I have asthma? I've done a spirometry test, and it was normal. I also completed a six-minute walking test, and my oxygen saturation was 98%. Can you help me understand if these results rule out asthma or if there are other tests I should consider?
