I've been spray painting a prop for only about 5 minutes and I think I breathed in some fumes. Now I'm feeling this tightness in my lungs and there's a dull pain on my right side that I've had for a few days. I read it might be lung inflammation that'll go away by itself. Should I be worried about this?

It's natural to feel concerned. Short-term lung irritation from spray paint fumes often subsides with time, especially if you're now in fresh air and staying hydrated. However, if the tightness or pain worsens, or you notice symptoms like wheezing or breathlessness, consult a doctor promptly.

I'm really anxious after getting my X-ray results back. It mentions bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings, and I'm not sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain what it indicates or what might cause it?
Bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings on an x-ray typically indicate an increased density or prominence of blood vessels and lymphatic channels around the central part of the lungs. This can be a normal variant in some cases, but it can also be seen in conditions such as pulmonary congestion, infections, or inflammation. Treatment would depend on the underlying cause. If you are experiencing symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
