High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

Posted by mcphee @mcphee, Dec 14, 2016

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?

Your doc might consider your fatigue rationale for angiogram, and even cath.

What are your lipid numbers?

My low number was high so now I'm on 2 statins.

Which statins? Dosage?

You did not respond to my comment re angiogram and catheterization? If you are symptomatic, you need to press for more information.
