I'm planning a trip to the Gulf, and I just got my chest X-ray report back. It mentions something about prominent broncho vascular markings. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm concerned about whether it could cause any issues in my medical consultation or during my trip. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or managed somehow?

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray indicate increased visibility of the airways and blood vessels, which can be a normal finding, but may also be associated with conditions like asthma, COPD, or pulmonary hypertension; in the context of your Gulf medical, it might raise concerns, but it's unlikely to be a major issue unless accompanied by other abnormal findings or symptoms;

I've been dealing with pneumonia for a couple of weeks now and I'm on antibiotics, but I've got this almost constant chest pain that makes it tough to sleep. My temperature is not extremely high, like around 37.2C, but what's really bothering me is this annoying, painful ache in the area around my heart. I know pneumonia can be serious and it's normal to feel unwell, but the ongoing chest and heart pain has me worried. I haven't seen anyone else mention these symptomsare they something I should be concerned about, or are they normal with pneumonia?

I've been using my revolizer inhaler, and no matter what I try, I can't help but feel like some of the medicine is just sitting on my tongue and throat instead of getting into my lungs where it should be. I'm worried I'm doing something wrong, even though I've watched all the YouTube videos and followed them exactly. Is this a normal struggle, or do you think I'm missing something? Could you guide me on the right technique or point me to a helpful video or document?
