I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

View allI'm dealing with this constant tightness in my chest, and I've got some really stressful breathing. Sometimes I even get this sharp, localized pain, but it's weird because it doesn't always hit the same spot. It's been over a year now. The pain comes and goes, but the tightness and breathing issues just aren't letting up. I smoke a lot, and I know that's probably a big part of the problem. But until I figure out how to quit, do you have any medical advice that might help?
