Based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
1. Hyperaerated lungs, with low lying diaphragm, suggests features of emphysema.
2. Hazy densities could be due to old fibrotic areas. Right upper lung, could probably be kochs, possibly old.
3. No pleural effusion is seen.
4. Heart size is normal.
Based on findings, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like emphysema can be suspected.
Hope this is helpful to you.
