@nagoh I'm sorry you have ended up in this boat as well! Have you spoken with your primary care doctor? They could at least start you on a statin if you aren't on one already. They might also be able to refer you into a cardiologist more quickly. It only took me about 6 weeks to see a cardiologist after my high CAC, and that felt like an eternity!

My numbers have been fine on Crestor and Zetia. At last check my LDL was 55.

I have to admit I do still worry quite a bit about having a heart attack. I've thought about seeing a therapist about it to see if that might help, since honestly my cardiologist seems proactive about keeping my numbers down but otherwise not that worried. I don't think I need to be as worried as I am, but it stresses me out quite a bit. It's been almost a year now since my CAC test, so I'm giving a bit more time to see if that helps. I think it's probably normal to have a stressful period of adjustment for this kind of diagnosis. Otherwise I take care of myself - I eat well and exercise nearly every day. I try to have fun! I'm just trying to keep on keeping on...
