Brief Answer:
No need to worry much for this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stable chest means no rib fractures.
No acute cardiopulmonary process means no cardiomegaly, no Pulmonary edema, no consolidation, no Cavity etc. Means no heart and lung related diseases.
Mild hyperinflation of lungs is only radiological finding. If you are not having any respiratory symptoms like cough, breathlessness then no need to worry for mild hyperinflation.
If you are smoker then you should quit smoking as soon as possible and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
2. Do you have any respiratory symptoms?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
