Hi. Do you regularly take TUMS or other calcium-based antacids or take calcium supplements?
I was shocked at my score also which led to a lot of research. I finally found several medical journal articles that noted that our bodies can and do absorb and process calcium via our diet BUT DO NOT absorb and process calcium from supplements or antacids so calcium from those sources are stored all over our bodies including in our bloodstream.
I am a lover of very spicy food so o used to eat a lot of evening meals very spicy then have to resort to TUMS to keep heartburn away at night.

I don’t take Tums or calcium supplements. The cardiologist also said to me that this is not the result of calcium consumption. He was pretty emphatic that he thinks it’s mainly a genetic thing for me.
