I fell the same . I feel like I got a gun to my head. My cac was at 1400 and I am fit and have no symptoms. So my doctor increased my crestor to 20gms even though my chestrol is very good . I am trying to cut out red meat and eating more vegetarian . My hope is that I my plaque is calfied which is safer then soft plaque which is more dangerous. Wishing you good health. Stay strong.

Hi, I was diagnosed with 390 calcium score a few yrs ago. I’m 70 yrs old and have family history of heart disease, always ate healthy and exercised thus was pretty shocked upon hearing the diagnosis. Overtime got used to it.
I am on Pravachol 20mg and low dose aspirin.
Would say to others to stay away from red meat.
And keep moving.!
