First, you need to be marked as FIT by GAMCA. If they mark you as UNFIT, the journey ends there. If not, then you come here and go through the medical again. Any abnormality in the lungs is an issue but it depends on case to case - no one here can predict whether you get it or not. There are hundreds of threads on the gcc forums about medical and specifically about chest x-ray issues. Use the search button.
