A radiologist once told me that interpreting chest xrays is one of the most difficult chores in radiology. The best technique is to take a chest xray with the patient standing with a real deep breath. An obese person sitting for the X-Ray often gives the illusion of congested pulmonary vascularity. I'll bet that if you had the xray standing&taking a full deep breath, it would be perfectly normal.
