Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. No need to worry much for hyperinflation on chest x-ray if you are not having any symptoms like cough or dyspnea, and you are not smoker. But is you are smoker or having above-mentioned symptoms, then better to get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis. No need for second opinion as repeat x-ray will not tell you anything. But PFT will help you in diagnosing bronchitis. If PFT is also normal then no need to worry much for bronchitis or hyperinflation on x-ray. So my advice is to go for PFT rather than repeat chest x-ray. PFT will give you more information.
