High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I though I was high at 2536. I hope you're in touch with a cardiologist. With a score that high, they should be having you do testing such as an echocardiogram and nuclear stress test to see if there's any significant blockage.
With a CAC of 3611 on your RCA (right coronary artery), it's possible you have some blockage there (mine was 1694 on the RCA). If you're really lucky, the calcium will be inside the walls or on the outside of the artery. I'm scheduled both tests mentioned above on May 30. Best of luck to you.

@hikerguy72. how old were you when you received that calcium score? I was in panic with a 170 score! I actually saw my PCP today and he was reassuring now that I am on meds and other tests came back good. My cardiologist...who I referred myself, said he put my overall at low risk based on some testing, but gave me the option of a Nuclear Stress Test...but he said technically I didn't meet the qualifications...but it may help me sleep at night.
Every ones journey is a bit different...even with similar scores...people have different results. Maybe bacause of age.
