High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good result from my Stress/Echo test this Thursday. I feel like a sinking ship with no freight to throw overboard. Any heart-healthy changes in lifestyle were made long ago. The plaque is already deposited and isn't going away. I'm guessing I'll be put on high-dose statins and maybe a daily aspirin. Or, if I have a major blockage, a stent or two. The calcium score is high in the right circumflex artery--1200--and the LAD--250.

My LAD score was 1300 alone and my total score was 2996. I got an angiogram which showed most of the calcium was in the walls of the arteries and the blood flow was good- no stents needed. So keep hoping- try not to worry. You may be ok
