Crazy high calcium score of 3,000+

Yes, a lot to think about @kswartz! You are doing everything you can by staying active, watching what you eat, and working with a cardiologist who is on top of your unique situations. Your husband’s 5000+ calcium score sounds shocking and I imagine you joining him by addressing your own heart health encourages him tremendously.
I am tagging members that may have helpful information/updates to share. @heycal created this discussion after a routine CT. @robmtk and @njx58 have mentioned an extremely high calcium score and/or treating LDL.
Like your husband, my LDL goal is 50. Getting close to that the last year or so has required a knowledgeable care team and multiple medications that seem to have synergy working together. I also get relief from Flonase and antihistamine eye drops, in addition to a super consistent high level of exercise, strict diet and weight training.
You mention walking daily and improving your diet. What kind of changes have you made?

@jlharsh I'm doing the heart healthy diet with my husband and this is a huge change for both of us. I’m active as can be doing daily exercises, but I also have MS so walking isn’t my forte! I belong to an online physio program called the MS Gym with Trevor Wicken who is a MS specialist in physiotherapy. I also have joined some MS exercises on the MS Link with a MS specialist physical therapist ( Dr Gretchen Hawley, PT). I’ve always exercised even prior to MS but now I’m more limited since 2007. I also got scared enough to give in and start rosuvastatin. Thanks for your input!
