Hello
Generally calcified granuloma is an incidental finding and it doesn't require any treatment.
It shows healed stage of infection.It is not active at all.
Infection naturally heals by fibrosis and calcification.
Calcified granuloma is not related to your symptoms.Chest pain may be due to some other reasons.
All causes of chest pain should be thoroughly investigated.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
