High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I just found this group today. Ten years ago when I was 73 I found out I have a calcium score of 2274. I will be 84 years old next week. I feel fine and have had no heart related problems. That's why my user name is LuckyG. I am on a statin and a 325 aspirin every day and I try to limit my saturated fat intake and keep my weight down, When I first found out I was scared to death but I don't think about it much at this point. Good luck. Gary

LuckyG that’s what I needed to hear. I just got my calcium score yesterday and it’s 1130. I spent all night wondering when I’ll die. My cholesterol is a little high but I have my blood pressure under control. I feel fine and haven’t been sick in the last 3 years. I’m having a stress test in 2 weeks. I wish they had never told me about my calcium score. It’s better not to worry your self into a heart attack.
statin is usually to control cholestrol...high calcium suggests parathyroid problems...one of the four parathroids is usually swollen and not working..straight forward operation although age maybe an issue...your 325mg aspirin is high and might be for other issues
