Whatever you have described are trivial and subtle changes in all the organs. I have no idea about your age but if you are more then 60 then this may be just senile changes however if you are younger, even then you dont need to do anything about these subtle changes.
Linear atelectasis are because of secretions or past infections.
Do deep breathing exercises
