High calcium score: I'm in shock

Two days ago I got the results from a CT calcium test. Over 2000. I am healthy and 73 and I’m in shock. I don’t read about any kind of treatments except to just get your things in order. I can’t get in anywhere for two months to see a cardiologist. I’m scared

That's a big number. Didn't your ct test have comments regarding stenosis etc? Mine did. I wouldn't wait 2 months, find a workaround to get into a cardiologist sooner. If you can't find a workaround, come out of pocket and get in to an out of network cardiologist. After all, what is money for?

nany123,

First - calm down. There are many folks with know numbers that high who are in good health, otherwise - and asymptomatic

But, it is time to assess your health more formally - you need advanced lipids panel to determine meds, stress test and echo with the stress test. A CTA (different from CAC - unless you and cleerlyseeker mean you have already had one, then what he said.
