High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

jjohn10,

You're on a statin? When did you begin taking? Remember, statins calcify cholesterol deposits, so most folks see an increase of calcium after beginning statin therapy.

Also, my understanding is that calcium will increase - normally- about 15% per year. Even with aggressive changes in diet and exercise, your CAC score will increase. I've seen no one report a decrease in CAC scores - ever.
