Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Prominant lung markings is quite a common finding in chest x-rays that could be normal. However it might show some disease, if associated with other symptoms such as cough, pain, fever ,etc.
This finding alone could simply mean that the subject of the x-ray is a smoker, has an acute (e.g. pneumonia) or chronic (e.g. asthma) pulmonary disease, has some degree of valvular heart disease, etc.
Consult a pulmonologist for referral
Hope this information helps.
