Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about your chest x-ray report. Mild prominence of bronchovascular markings (BVM's) can be a normal finding if you are totally asymptomatic and nonsmoker. But if you are having cough, expectoration or breathing difficulty then possibility of viral bronchitis is more. If you are smoker then you should get done PFT to rule out smoking related lung damage because this can also show prominent BVM's. So if you are asymptomatic and nonsmoker then no need to worry about chest x-ray report. But if you are smoker and symptomatic then quit smoking as soon as possible and consult pulmonologist for treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
