High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: Feb 13 9:01am | Replies (640)Comment receiving replies
Recently received a 979 CAC Score, passed a stress test and was prescribed 40mg Atorvastatin. After some statin research and learning the difference between relative risk/absolute risk plus the fact that statins increase calcium, I stopped the statin. I started a LCHF diet and increased exercise and supplementation. I monitor my Macro and Micro nutrients content daily. I Have no symptoms and feel great! I plan on experimenting with both diet and supplementation with the goal of slowing progression, there are reports of people actually lowering their CAC score. I will continue to research and modify and will have another CAC test in about 18 months. I'm actually enjoying the research and I'm more motivated to exercise than ever before. I can actually say that the discovery of a high CAC score has had a positive effect on my life.

I just received my score of 706 and was told Im in the highest risk group. Score of 4 in the widow maker. 0 in the left circumflex, 436 in the anterior descending and 266 in the right coronary. Im 64, 5"10" 175Lbs. 34" waist, 42" chest. Less then 20% body fat. I get on my elliptical trainer 2-3 times a week for 25-30 minutes. I walk miles other days, play golf 2 times a week. I will admit my strength and energy level is not what it used to be but so are my friends my age. I felt my blood pressure rise when my Dr called to tell me. Trying to find comfort to get me to the next stage....

Good going @pcspetpro. In your research, n=1 and that's a worthy design leading to a unique therapy for the only patient!
