Welcome @mcphee. Such a good question to ask the community. Several people have used your exact phrase "I feel like a walking time bomb which has caused me a lot of stress" when talking about heart complications. I'm tagging a few members who may be able to share some of their experiences with high calcium levels, heart complications and the stress this causes. Please meet @jrismyname @hopeful33250 @predictable @michellr. I'm sure others will jump in as well.
In the meantime you may be interested in watching this video Q&A with Dr. Brott on stroke prevention.

MacPhee - what has your doctor suggested to help lower the calcium score?

How do you get a calcium score? Is it part of blood work?

My high calcium score if from the calcium heart scan.(scan of coronary arteries.)
I take a baby aspirin and Crestor 40 mg.
Dr wants me to do a lot of aerobic exercise and limit red meats to twice a month.
