deb,

Agree with christian, above. While better, you should probably get you LDL and total cholesterol much lower. Many report good results from injectable's to lower both.

- advanced lipids panel done, called cardioiq by some
- stress test with ultrasound should have been one of first things

You don't mention your triglycerides ... need to reduce, as well.

You have taken action to repair damage done by known risks - please keep working it!

Thank you for the comments, I should have mentioned that all my stress tests have been exemplary. My triglycerides are normal and my HDL is 59. I have been plagued with anxiety the last 10 years (PTSD) and this CAC score seems to trigger it! I am trying to put it in the “informative” category, however anytime I feel something weird in my chest I become so anxious not knowing if that is a precursor to something bigger. Has anyone tried the red yeast rice as a natural cholesterol reducer?
