High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

I'm currently 60. Just got that news in March of this year. I wish I was at 170 lol And the only "negative" in my life is/was my total cholesterol (221) and LDL (126) as of this past March.
I've always maintained my weight (5'7" / ~150lbs.), non-smoker, non-drinker, no diabetes, exercised throughout my life starting at 16, no family history other than my father died of a heart attack at 84 (and had a HORRIBLE diet) and an uncle who was a heavy smoker and had a heart attack (and survived) in his 50s. Some people are just unlucky. Probably just something in my genes that caused this. Thankfully I have zero symptoms as of now.

genetics....but those individuals could have had high CAC scores...and they appear to have done pretty well.

A lot of drs would like your cholesterol under 150 and your LDL under 70. Have you been tested for Lp(a)? I've heard our genes load the gun and our lifestyle pulls the trigger. What were you eating to have your cholesterol and LDL high? Cholesterol is found only in animal products.
