I worry about it constantly!

I know how you feel. I’m 64, & felt pretty good. I try to hit the gym 3 times per week. My wife had her heart checkup in August, & decided to make an appointment for me, also.
My results revealed a 4.3 - 4.5 cm ascending aortic anyeurism, along with 50-70% blockage in my arteries. The cardiologist restricted me to lifting 10 pounds, and scheduled a catherization for 09/16. I stressed the entire time. Three days prior to the procedure, his office called and postponed until October 30, due to staff shortages!

May I ask what test was done to determine blocked arteries ? Was it a calcium score test ? I hope everything is working out for you ! Best wishes
