I can certainly relate to the anxiety. I am 62 with score of 1771. Life long high cholesterol but unfortunately can not take statins. Now PCP is urging me to take REPATHA I am terrified of the high score but also terrified of drugs due to the statins that caused severe neurological muscular issues. Totally asymtomatic, BP under control. Have had hypothyroidism for 30 years. Would be interested in anyone taking REPATHA and their experiences.

Are you monitoring plaque progression? What do you feel is the cause of a high calcium score? I'm also 62 with a CAC of 979, asymptomatic. I'm moving forward with diet modification, supplementation, increased exercise.
