You do not need to go to a doctor immediately because of the hyperinflation on the xray itself...now if you were having alot of problems with breathing, shortness of breath etc, then that would be a different story. Hyperaeration means over inflation of the lungs which can happen with disorders such as asthma (especially chronic) emphysema (not likely in your case as you are pretty young) etc...Your doctor will review your xray and fine tune your treatment, perhaps even order other tests depending on why you presented to him or her in the first place. I hope this helps..Sunny
