So, A little over 4 years ago I started my journey on here ---- Lost 40 pounds and started exercising daily and eating better ---
Yesterday I went for a Heart Scan and got a Coronary Calcium Score of 42 which means plaque is present. I have mild heart disease. My chance of having a heart attack is moderate. Supposed to talk with doctor about quitting smoking, eating better, beginning an exercise program, and any other treatment I may need. Well, I never smoke, eat well, exercise daily so not sure what Doc would say except maybe prescribe pills ...
I'm not over the top worried about it .... I figure it takes years to build up the plaque that causes those deposits and it was probably my years of sedentary lifestyle that caused the existing deposits.
I am thankful I started my journey 4 years ago and have stuck with it --- It is a way of life now
I am also thankful that the heart scan is available for only $50 --- I'll go back in a couple years and do another scan to compare where I am at --- As long as it doesn't progress quickly I'll be happy -- I mean I gotta die of something right? I'm not gonna be miserable with my diet just for fear of what may be in my genes anyways. My dad had a quad-bypass around 55 and my granddad had heart issues too...
Still feeling 100% --- very rarely get sick etc. Wonder what my doc will say ... How bad is a 42 at age 46 hmmmmmm
