Your doctor was correct. Calcified granuloma in the brain suggests a healed infection (due to tape worm). No treatment is required for the healed infection, however, it can cause fits. If fits recur, you may have to restart fits medications.
Regarding heart beat and palpitations, it could be due to anxiety. However, if it recurs, please consult a cardiologist to exclude any heart rhythm disturbances.
Wishing you good health,
