I have stopped high stress work outs after I found out about the High CAC score (which was Monday afternoon). I am going to see my PCP today , hopefully cardiologist and stress test very soon.
My HDL is 48, LDL is 139 , Triglycerides 87, non HDL chol -158, Total Chol -206, HS CRP 0.7 and Apo b 116. When I punched these into the risk score test I got only around 6% as risk. However the high CAC score tells another story.
Though I have heart burn/gas/pain around chest, they are not severe and I do not have shortness of breath or anything. That is why I thought this could be acid reflux and gas. Lot of burping and passing gas, which made me feel better afterwards. I will ask my doctor to go to cardiologist immediately. Now I am reading more I am getting more concerned. Before the CAC test I was not even aware of all the examples.
