Our paths to calcium score testing are similar, @tinyelvis . My 80+ year old mother was recommended by her PCP to get one. She asked me to join her. They told me my score was almost 400 and I remember thinking I needed to figure out what the scores mean, let’s move on to my mom because she is why we are here. Then…..my mom was told her score was 0. Ahhh, now I understand I have a problem.

I imagine you just want someone to tell you what is going on, and how to fix it! It sounds like you are beginning to put pieces together pinning down a hiatal hernia causing chest pain. What do you do with that? Does it impact anything else?

My best help has come from taking an integrative approach once I realized what is happening in one part of the body is happening all over the body. Kudos to you for practicing good lifestyle choices with your diet and activity. This will help you live your best life through your journey.

Re: @seniormed comment about CRP labs I agree they are a helpful piece of your puzzle. My inflammation shows up through a ceramide score that is an independent inflammation test. Just to say, there are lots of pieces you will begin putting together as your doctors walk you through this process. You are doing all you can to be the best you!

As active as you can, strong as you can, as long as you can!
