Hello @steveny and welcome to Connect. I can imagine your surprise at finding out about a high calcium score. Sometimes it is frustrating when we don't feel doctors take our concerns seriously.

When we don't feel that our concerns are being taken seriously by a doctor, we do have options. We can stay with that doctor and ask for more information or perhaps change doctors and get a second opinion.

We have another discussion on Connect about high calcium scores. Here is the link to that discussion group,
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/very-high-calcium-score/?commentsorder=newest#chv4-comment-stream-header.
In this discussion, you will meet members who have posted about their calcium scores and how they adjust and/or follow up with their doctor.

I'm wondering how the calcium score was determined. Did you have a CT scan of the heart or were only blood tests done? Did your cardiologist suggest follow-up blood work or perhaps a stress test?
