High calcium score: I'm in shock

Hi. I’m a young looking 60 year old woman with a family history of CAD. I’ve always had high cholesterol and starting taking statins about 15 years ago. I’m probably ten pounds over my ideal weight. My blood pressure is good. I exercise for at least thirty minutes every day with rare exceptions. I am proactive about my heart health due to those risk factors. But my LDL is 99 and a recent calcium score is LAD 7. I meet with my cardiologist in a couple of days to go over the results. I know it’s not terrible but it definitely has my attention. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi , I’m 46 male with LAD 13.4. I’m also looking for suggestions. Currently on statin 10MG. @writer413 . Heard from my PCP that until 10 it’s not a concern. Is it your first time having calcium test ?
