High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I will consider any solution where there are unsponsored double blind studies. Just because someone states something does not make it true. Many of these supplements are touted by modern day snake oil salesmen.

I have to love you, but your one of those people that mainstream medicine has all the answers, but thats not at all true....everyone who takes a statin should be taking coq10

When it comes to supplements and complementary medicine, I always refer to NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine to better understand the evidence available to date or lack thereof. https://nccih.nih.gov/

@ca426 mentions Coenzyme Q10, a supplement that is often mentioned along with statins. Here is NCCIM's article about CoQ10: https://nccih.nih.gov/health/coq10

And from Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-coenzyme-q10/art-20362602 this article states:
"Heart conditions. CoQ10 has been shown to improve symptoms of congestive heart failure. Although findings are mixed, CoQ10 might help reduce blood pressure. Some research also suggests that when combined with other nutrients, CoQ10 might aid recovery in people who've had bypass and heart valve surgeries."

"Possible interactions include: Anticoagulants. CoQ10 might make blood-thinning drugs, such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven), less effective. This could increase the risk of a blood clot."

"CoQ10 supplements might be beneficial for treating conditions such as congestive heart failure and Parkinson's disease. CoQ10 is considered safe, with few side effects. However, be sure to take this supplement under your doctor's supervision."

Hi @ca426. Tell us more about your qualifications for making judgments in the field of medicine. Expertise is respected when it's documented.

I am not getting any responses directed to me -just peripheral posts for someone's else's post. I am going to relist my post so please do not move it to someone else's. And I really didn't want to piggy-back on someone else's problem or to hijack the post. So please, moderator, let it be.

There seems to be some confusion of how many baby aspirins to take until the ambulance can arrive if you think you are having a heart attack. I recently called EMS and had chewed up one baby aspirin before they arrived. When they arrived they gave me three more to dissolve under my tongue. I know if you think you are having a stoke you should wait until EMS assesses you before taking aspirin. Can anyone tell me how the number of baby aspirins for potential heart attack symptoms is calculated?

From my experience as heart attack survivor , baby Aspirin is 81 mg and max dose recommended is 350 mg About 4 to 5 Aspirins is Ok.If chewable Aspirin is not avaialable , one can crush 5 pills and give to patient immediately.It May prevent impending heart attack.However if silent heart attack has taken place and clot is stuck somewhere , damage is done.Sorbitrate can be of more help in such cases or in case Person is Heart patient , he is aware of this .

You got it, @dpframing.

How are you doing since your note? My score is 1400. My cardiologist wants me to do a heart cath. Not a bad thought really.

I wish I had your cardiologist. Mine wants me to wait until I am symptomatic or have a heart attack before a cath!
