Heart Arteries Plaque Test
Are you aware of a Calcium Scoring CT scan? I just had one done at my local hospital (cost me only $99 - no insurance coverage) and I am happy to report that my heart arteries are good "Looks like a very young person's score" she told me - a 50. Says she has seen some has high as 3,000. Heart rate at 55 also very good - See what yoga postures and meditation can do for you? at least it does for me! I did this at Dr. Biddle's suggestion to see if I really do need to be on Lipitor - and at least this test indicates probably not. I'll let him decide that, of course. Seems to me a great idea to have someone take a look. We're trying to test everything to eliminate any drugs I don't need and add any prescription drugs and supplements I do need. ------- Tomorrow my retreat sisters will be here! So, if I miss writing posts a few days, don't give up on me. I'll be back!
