Hello,
The report of the chest X-ray is generally normal. The hyper-inflated lungs occur when air gets trapped in the lungs and causes them to over-inflate. In such as case you may need a treatment with broncho-dilators. You should consult a pneumologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
