Hello, Bo from Texas. Yesterday I received my calcium score and was shocked! 2450. Going to see Doc today to talk to him about this terrible score. I feel great,go to gym every morning for one hour of hard exercise. Never stop doing weights and aerobics. My cholesterol is about 155 with Hdl at 80 and ldl 75. Take 40 mg of Zocor daily. I have always considered myself in great heath at 75. Thanks for reading my post. Any suggestions. Have a nuclear stress test scheduled in two weeks.

Got the results back from my nuclear stress test. Overall positive. My stress test Mets score was a 13,which means that I performed the test equal to a 25 year old. Iam 75 and it took 17 minutes to get my heart to 120 target rate. Heart capacity was 70% vs average 75 year old of 50 -60%. Hdl was 78,ldl was 76 and tri g was 66. The only negative was he saw a shadow on my artery behind the heart. Not sure it is blockage,more test to follow. Another heart scan with a machine with much higher resolution. Feel great. He did put me on 500 mg of turmeric curcumin. More to come after next test.
