Does Healed Tuberculosis Lead To Fibrosis In Lung?

Hi! I just got the result of my x-ray from a clinic here from the Philippines that has an approval of GAMCA. It shows on the result that I have a "CXR: Right Apical Fibrosis" and for that reason they provided me an UNFIT remark that made my job off shore cancelled due to this result.
During the medical testings, I didn't provide that I consume medicines like MYRIN P and MYRIN to heal my tubercolosis. I took those medicines. For the 4 months I took MYRIN P and the next is MYRIN for the last 4 months as diagnose by my doctor and now I'm clear.
My point is, did I have this "Right Apical Fibrosis" due to the healed tubercolosis? Did the result affect the information that I didn't provide during the medical interview?
Could you help me cure/heal my lung problem cause my career is on the line.
I'm turning 26, 168 cm and 73 kg.
