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?

I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?
