Age -67, female
Overweight- No. 5'2", 125 lbs
Lipid numbers- On Rosuvastatin 20 mg for the last couple of months since CAC score 613.
Advanced lipid numbers- LDL 51 after rosuvastatin. Before that it was borderline. HDL always high and triglycerides low. Having lots of joint pains and muscle weakness on Rosuvastatin. My cardiologist put me ona low dose of ozempic for cardiac protection. I am pre-diabetic. Started on Metformin as well and I am hoping to discontinue metformin once the effect of ozempic takes over.
Blood pressure- on Amlodipine 5mg daily. BP around 120--130/76-86
Stress test- normal
Stress test with echo- No echo. But CT with chemical stree test- no block
Leads a very cardiac friendly lifestyle (diet and exercises) for years except that I had chronic stress and sleep issues.

I am worried about the soft plaque in my coronary than the 50-69% block range
Any comment is appreciated.
