I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my lung for the past year. Sometimes it goes away, but other times it really hurts.

Question

I'm supposed to be going to Dubai for work, but my medical report showed a calcification in the area near my right hilum during the chest X-ray. I'm really worried because if I'm deemed medically unfit, I can't take the job. I'm not having any chest pain at all, but I do smoke, so could this be from my smoking habit? How can I get rid of this calcification quickly? Would this affect my chances for the job in Dubai?
