I went to the ER with a heavy feeling in my upper back. My labs came back normal, and the doctor didn't seem concerned, but I wanted a second opinion. My CT scan with contrast from January 5th was normal. However, I recently got an X-ray that I'm unsure about. What does peribronchial thickening or cuffing mean, and should I be concerned about it?

I believe I have a sinus infection. I've been experiencing symptoms such as coughing, a head cold, nasal bleeding, stringy mucus, blood clotting, and sore nasal passages for about 8 days. I'm 74 years old and take Coverall, Plavix, and Crestor. I had Crohn's disease but it's in remission now. Additionally, I've noticed difficulty breathing through my nose, some sinus pain, and feeling really stuffed up. What can I do to address these symptoms?
