Feel like I always have mucus in my throat and lungs, and it's making it hard to breathe properly. I keep having to spit it out. When I sleep and wake up, there's a pressure in my chest. Can anyone help?

View allI'm really worried about my lungs. Every time I go for a GAMCA medical check, the X-ray shows these small calcified spots in the lungs, and they end up rejecting me for travel to the Gulf countries. Ive never had tuberculosis or any lung disease, though I used to smoke but quit about four months ago. The reports mention calcified nodules in the left hilar region, but doctors tell me it's not a disease and there's no treatment available. I've tried various treatments like homeopathy for six months, allopathy for two months, and ayurveda for a month, but nothing worked. I also got a blood checkup, which was clear. Its just the lungs that are problematic. What can I do to resolve this issue? I really need to find a solution to be able to travel.
CALCIFIED NODULES ARE NOT A DISEASE N ALL UNTREATEDABLE. IN LONG TERM AGO ANY PULMONARY INFECTION IS THEIR UNKNOWINGLY THEY SELF LIMITS SO THE LYMPH NODES ARE CALCIFIED.

I'm really worried because the patient just got over COVID about five days ago. I'm trying to find out if they also recovered from COVID pneumonia or if there's still something lingering. Can you help explain how we can know for sure if they're in the clear?
for that you should do chest xray
