Hello @orionrex,
I moved your discussion and combined it with @heycal's discussion:
"Crazy high calcium score of 4,000+"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/crazy-high-calcium-score/
@heycal may have some experiences they would like to come back and share based on getting shocking calcium scores as well. @cianci also shared their experience with a score of 3,500.
@orionrex - it sounds like you were able to discuss your score with your PCP and make some lifestyle changes that have helped ease some of the short-term concerns. If you don't mind sharing, what sort of changes have you already made?

Nothing new to report on my end after my 4400 calcium score many months back prompted a nuclear stress test and echocardiogram and an increase in my statins. My doctor explained to me that one could have a score of 5000 and have no blockages, or a score of 50 with blockages. It all depends on where the calcium is located. Or something like that. In any case, I'm still alive. I suspect you will still be alive even if you walk slowly to the cardiologist's office instead of running @orionrex.
