Hello
Welcome to the healthcareMagic
Your chest pain is because of scar tissue in lung.
Post inflammatory scarring can lead to chest pain.
Pulmonary function test can be done to diagnose restrictive lung disease Steroid is useful, if its fibrosis.
Take Care.
Hope this will help you
Consult pulmonologist for examination
