Hi,

There are increased lung markings in the lower zones on both sides along with prominent appearance of blood vessels entering the lungs. This might be due to asthma, allergic bronchitis, mild infection of air passages within lungs. You need to get your chest clinically examined for abnormal breath sounds. Any breathlessness or asthma should need emergency care.
