High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?
I have a calcium score of 1,950 which is extremely high which means I am at a very high risk for a cardiac event,heart attack,stroke or sudden death.
I take a statin and baby aspirin. I have never been sick, have excellent cholesterol, low blood pressure and I am not overweight. I have no other health problems and I have never been sick. But I feel like a walking time bomb which has caused me a lot of stress. I am 70 yrs old.
I wonder how others with this condition feel emotionally?

I am 70 and just received score of 501 on cardio scan. I am also in wonderful shape, do aerobic exercises and am 6' tall and weigh 165 pounds. What might be paths for treatment? Thanks. Mumbles
Calcified coronary arteries are not connected with dietary calcium or blood levels of clcium.
Stress is the worst thing! It's what gave me shingles six years ago, resulting in facial neuralgia to this day! Thing is, I was doing everything I loved, but it was just TOO MUCH for this body. I had to STOP everything.
I too am feeling the stress mounting over this too low blood pressure thing. But if I do my morning yoga, a lot of deep breathing, and meditation, I DO feel better! I just find so many other things to take precedence, and that's downright silly. We ALL need to put our bodies and our hearts FIRST!
Thank you! Yes, my calcium is super high for my age
So sorry. Is your calcium high? Is there something you can do diet and supplement wise? I have a paradoxical reaction to pharmaceuticals, so I am concerned about going to a cardiologist who will insist on putting me on drugs that I will no doubt react to. I have been successful, however, changing my diet and taking natural supplements that have helped me greatly. Good luck!
