I am in a similar situation, 60 yr. old female who recently quit smoking. I have always been very active, eat healthy but received a CAC score of 535, highest portion of that is the LAD. I suffer from anxiety and have for years, I was totally shocked by this score as it does not appear we have a family history of CAD by many do have high cholesterol. I am deciding on going the Statin route or the fairly new Nexlatol route. Does anyone have experience with the Nexlatol? I am using every coping mechanism in my arsenal but the slightest heart blip or weird pain throws me into a panic attack. I would love to know the % of people with CAD that have never had a cardiac event and by age group. I am looking for information to help alleviate the “time bomb” feeling. Please share any info that you have. Let’s beat the stress of having CAD!
