Hi,
Thanks for posting the query on XXXXXXX After going through the query, I would like to comment the following:
1. You seem to have had a short episode of breathlessness and also have cough.
2. Your xray findings are suggestive of bilateral prominent broncho vascyular markings.
3. Do you snore during sleep? What is your height and weight? If you have disturbed sleep/ snoring during sleep / unrefreshing sleep then probably a sleep study may be required in you to rule out Obstructive sleep apnea.
4. You need to visit a Pulmonologist and get yourself evaluated to rule out obstructive airway disease. Investigations that are requires at this time are PFT (spirometry) and serum IgE levels.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any.
Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow up. After going through your follow up info, I would like to comment the following:
1. Your Body mass Index is 34.5 which signifies that you are obese and hence considering your snoring history, there is a possibility of you suffering from obstructive sleep apnea or obesity hypoventilation syndrome. A sleep study needs to be done. Also ABG(pulmonary function test is normal, obstructive air way disease is not a possibility
3. It is suggested herewith that you should get yourself re evaluated with Pulmonologists if your symptoms persist or you could also visit a sleep physician.
4. Also a stress exercise testing / stress echo would rule out any underlying cardiac problems.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any.
Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow up. After going through your follow up info, I would like to comment the following:
1. The attenuated bronchovascular markings are bilateral and in the lower zones. Sometimes in obese female patients we do get such shadows due to overlap of mamary shadows.
2. Its nice that you will be visiting a Pulmonologist.
3. Also please join a weight management programme.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any.
