Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Hyperaereted lungs can be seen in following conditions.
1. Normal individuals.
2. If chest x ray is taken in full end inspiratory phase.
3. In smokers
4. In emphysema.
So if you are smoker or having emphysema then you need to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to diagnose the obstructive airway pathology as a cause for your Hyperaereted lungs.
Smoking cessation and inhaled bronchodilators are the treatment for this.
