What does the ct finding mean?

I had a recent ct scan and one of the findings was, multifocal areas of airway trapping bilaterally. Consistant with small airways disease. I'm a 30 year old male with a history of heavy smoking 2-3 packs per day for the last 21 years.

Hi. I understand your concern s. It is due to your smoking. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
