Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Thick broncho-vascular markings in both lungs may be due to inflammation like bronchitis,age related changes etc.You need clinical correlation.
There is nothing to be worried.It is a benign finding.
Findings are not serious at all.
Lung fields are also normal.There are no signs of infection.
Other findings like hilum and mediastinum are normal.
Chest pain may be due to other reasons.You need proper cardiac evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
