I just had a stent in my heart for a 90% blockage. I’m about to have some more tests for plaque in my carotid artery. I’m only in my early 40s. My LDL was a little high (123) last year, but nothing crazy. I had no symptoms.
Now with crestor it’s been 48 and 57 in my last 2 tests.
My mom survived a widowmaker heart attack. Her dad died of one at 39. As my cardiologist said, can’t fix family history.
Get a calcium scan of your heart to look for plaque. It’s cheap quick and painless (and not usually covered by insurance, so it’s <$200).
Take plenty of D3 but ALSO take K2.
K2 pushes Valium into your teeth and bones, and, away from your arteries.
Most docs won’t tell pts this … for some reason. 🤔
Not Valium … apple spell check is funny … CALCIUM!!
