In July, during my annual wellness check, my primary physician encouraged me to get a cardiac calcium score. I don’t think she was expecting anything anywhere near the score I received.
I was immediately referred to a cardiologist. When I met with the cardiologist on August 7th and he prescribed 40mg atorvastatin and the low dose aspirin. He told me not to stop riding because “the wheels will come off pretty quickly if I did.” I asked about surgical interventions and he didn’t think the science supported that. My next appointment is November 12th. I will have a mountain of questions for him. Seriously considering getting a second opinion.
