Brief Answer:
Yes, no need to worry for this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, no need to worry for this.
Prominent bronchovascular markings (BVMs) are normally seen on chest x rays.
So no need to worry much.
But if you are smoker then you should quit smoking immediately.
I also want to know if you are having symptoms like breathlessness or wheezing etc.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
