Brief Answer:
Get done CT scan of lungs.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your chest x ray is not normal. It is showing bilateral hilar enlargement and opacity in right upper lobe.
So possibility of pneumonia or tuberculosis is more.
Lung cancer is also a possibility.
So better to get done CT scan of lungs with Contrast. CT will guide you more about cause.
If you are smoker than quit smoking as soon as possible.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
