Hello,
If your lung shows inflammation in the X-ray the doctor may not be able to give you fitness certificate. On behalf of that your application may be denied. Since you had a repeat test done by a different GP, spirometry and X-ray shows healthy report, then the doctor will give you fitness certificate. If you have no history of lung disease in the past then you need not worry.
You are suggested to take food that reduces inflammation of the lungs like omega 3 fatty acids, fruits like strawberries, blueberries, cherries and oranges. Take food rich in nuts, dry fruits, protein and food rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6. Avoid addictions if any. Get treated at the earliest if you are detected with any lung disease.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
