Hi welcome to the health care magic

Your clinical complaint has to be asked first here...

Increase vascular marking can be by bronchitis like respiratory infection or there might be emphysema like problem....

Smoking history needed and Auscultation should be done.....

Spirometry will be beneficial if COPD suspected ..

According to cause specific treatment given

If no symptoms present and examination normal than no need for worry

If needed decongestant and antibiotic might prescribed

Take care

Consult pulmonologoist for examination and further work up accordingly

Hope your concern solved
