High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I did some additional tests that relate to heart disease risk, homocysteine, hsCRP and Lipoprotein A. The first two are normal, but the LpA is high (117), which, according to the Lipoprotein Foundation puts one at a higher risk of heart disease. Anyone else have these tests performed?

Went to Mayo for executive physical and learned first time in my life my cholesterol was high. 234 total. HDL 76 LDL 138 I was asked to take LPa test after a CAC score of 743. It was terrible at 179. I am devastated but now see this is heredity and I’ve had it my whole life. Who knew? I’m 30 lbs overweight. Blood pressure is good. Triglycerides 113. Echo good. Stress test good. Started baby aspirin every day and Lipitor 10 mg. Been eating Mediterranean diet. No sugar. Intermittent fasting and daily exercise. I’m scared to death and am doing everything I can do. Feel like a walking time bomb at age 63. Trusting God and my faith to get me through. Hoping Lipitor works. Read about taking K2 and CoQ10 but doc poo poos it…..🤷🏻♀️
