High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

My suggestion would be to get a nuclear stress test and sonogram of your heart to check blood flow. If it’s good, don’t worry. If there’s a problem, it’s better you know and get a simple stent, hopefully nothing more. Having a doctor tell me my blood flow was fine eased my mind tremendously. I stopped eating red met (for the most part) and swim three times a week. Godspeed…..

So I went for my stress test yesterday and I passed it with flying colors. It was difficult in that I normally fuel my body with food before exercising (did I said no coffee either?). Got the heart rate up to 133 bpm. No problem there. Now, the heart imaging presents a very small dark spot on the RCA (right coronary artery). Cardio suggests it would better looking into the future to get an angiogram with the interventionist and IF and only IF it is blocked to 70% then a stent would have to be placed. I feel better knowing that the facts have become more clear. Meanwhile I have not abandoned the chickens and the fish of the world yet but other than that all the rest is veggies. I might start eating less chicken at some point. I am actually looking forward to the angiogram, hopefully not a stent but if it comes to that then so be it. Looking forward to have a ribeye after that. LOL

New Cardiologist made me feel better in that he is looking for ways to better my condition. I know that the stent path means a more long term solution. Ty
