Yes I feel exactly like you. I am 53 and at 1000 already . On statin and aspirin. I read and read journals and feel worse . I read "high risk" "decreased life expectancy" and 10 year risk of an event . They say if u are asymptomatic then just excercise, eat well, and what wait to have a heart attack. Now every twitch I get makes me wonder . So yes I feel very anxious 🙁. I have been trying to decrease anxiety with distraction and I even tried mindfulness meditation . Idk but you are not alone . What do you drs say?

Same here. I'm 65. Had a score of 110 when I was 55. Retested this week and now 490. I can't have lived a healthier diet and exercise routine, so am at a loss and feel discouraged. I hear words like risk and probability, but don't know how to translate that to what will happen to me personally. So I'm going to go on statins again even if there is muscle soreness, keep exercising and eat well. And hope that I'm not a person that contributes to the probability number.
