Hi, I have a 1500 score and I am concerned. I am 63 at 5’9” and 176 lbs. and according to my PCP index I am overweight. I could lose 10 pounds (working on it) not the my PCP has recommended it. He recommended a cardio (young doctor) and very pushy to place stents, he didn’t even wanted me to have an echo, stress test. His words were: “Why would you want to put $200 in my pocket?”, get the stents!!!”. I made the appts. for the tests in two weeks, well yesterday I cancel them, cancel this cardiologist and I am looking for someone I can actually have a conversation with about my well being. I am concerned, very and somewhat scared I could pass away next week. Have no chest pains, play tennis regularly, swim, etc. I have change my food intake radically. Not for sharing me second have I forgotten I have a 1500 score. My PCP (who I am about to ditch too) has told me if I like playing russian roulette!!! It looks to me I will have to get the stents at some point. I think there is No way around that. Get a 2nd opinion. I have spoken to guys in their 80’s and they all have stents, pacemakers, and the what not. Some got 2 stents, then down the road 2 more…. Best of luck. Send a response if you wish bc I am finding that the doctors in my neighborhood only listen to themselves.
