Heart Calcium Score scan scare

[Slickrock]

Hello all.

Last week I had a scan done that my Dr ordered because I am diabetic and over 50. I can exercise fine with my heart rate to 170 at times. I don't have any heart disease in my family on both sides. My cholesterol and triglycerides are all well within normal range but..........this score came back at 332 which puts me at 99th percentile of my age group. Biggest problem is that I have some bad health anxiety at times which is something that runs in the family lol

I don't know what to do. I have an appt with cardiologist this week but I am pretty scared.

Love any feedback!

I understand it's scary but I believe the score is a predictor and doesn't necessarily prove anything. Try not to worry and see what the cardiologist recommends.

I do not know anything about heart calcium, but I do want you to know that I pray you will be ok
