Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry about accentuated lung marking. As it is the normal finding on chest x ray.
It is due to gravity dependent high blood flow in the lung bases. So blood circulation is more in bases and this appears more white on chest x ray. So accentuated bronchovascular markings are seen.
No need to worry for this.
I advice Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to rule out bronchitis as a cause for your breathing difficulty.
And bronchitis gives appearance of prominent BV markings too.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT.
I find this answer helpful
