High calcium score: I'm in shock

I imagine you are thinking next Friday cannot get here soon enough, @ss52 . It sounds like you have a cardiologist who is looking out for you and have a good plan in front of you. Kudos on doing all you can to take care of you!

I felt the same way after getting my calcium score. My next step was a CTA and I believe it showed over 70% blockage in the LAD. I had a heart cath and found out the blockage in my LAD was actually around 40%, significantly less. All this to say that each test we get provides another piece to the puzzle, and I really didn’t know much until we had enough of the pieces.

You mention your medications were not working well to control your blood pressure. Have you made changes?

They've added Ezetimibe. I don't think I can take it. Seems to have shortness of breath
