CAC score now what

I am in the 82nd percentile for CAC which is calcium on the outside of the heart. I wore a heart monitor for 3 weeks and my heart doctor said that my heart was in good condition. I have had high blood calcium for years. Daily I eat 1/2 cup of organic whole fat A2-A2 plain grass fed yogurt and take no calcium supplement. My daily vitamin supplies 5% of the daily requirement. I have Celiac disease so I need those probiotics.
I hike up and down hills 4 times a week 2.5 to 3.5 miles each time. I have severe osteoporosis and because of my heart calcium I cannot take the bone building drugs that I should be on.
I am in line to see a specialist for my osteoporosis. They tested my para-thyroid and it was normal. My blood work is all perfect as is my blood pressure. I have normal blood sugar (85). I am 73, 5’8” and weigh 148. I eat a perfect diet, lots of greens, protein, no sweets, etc.
Anyone else have high blood calcium or words of wisdom for me?

Are you taking K2-MK4, vitamin D and magnesium also? The K2 moves the calcium out of the blood stream and binds it to your bones. My doc primary care "forgot" to tell me to take the K2 and told me to take calcium supplement to help my osteoporosis...duh...now I have non stemi coronary artery disease due to high calcium plaques. On Repatha and Zetia now...
