Welcome to health care magic.
1.The report of the x-ray was suggesting enlarged cardia with features of hypertensive.
2.There was possibility increased alveolar opacities causing the full ness or vascular fullness will be seen.
3.As the symptoms are seen normal with dry cough - you need to get an echo cardiograph to evaluate the cardiac pathology.
4.And regular BP checkup to make sure there are no hypertensive features.
5.Hila fullness can be due to vascular or alveolar opacities.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
