I was recently told that my lung scan showed severe calcification of my heart. I have been getting the scan for the past 15 years because I was a previous smoker. For some reason my dr didn’t schedule me for a scan for 2yrs and honestly I had forgotten about it. Up to that point no one has ever mentioned anything about high or any calcification on previous scans of my heart. I started taking calcium and vit d3: caltrate 2x daily for 2 yrs for osteoporosis. I’m wondering if that had anything to do with an new finding of severe classification, I just don’t know why I went from none to severe over the past two years

@hurstka edit to previous post
not classification but calcification

@hurstka that is a good question. Of course, I'm not a doctor but I wouldn't think that would happen in 2 years or less. Good question for your doctor.
