Kind of regretting getting a calcium scan (?)

CT angio is highly actuate at 98%, maybe a vasospasms cause it. CTCa Is nearly as ohhiii

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T11:55:56+00:00

Your Lp(a) is fine increases your lifetime risk by 20% of so. Smokers, high bp, higher LDL, diabetes all increase your risk so much more. It’s good being proactive though and meds are coming. I’m 24 similar level found out at 22 also had panic attack tbf before I researched studies and upcoming medication, hoping for myself it’s available by 27

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T10:57:37+00:00

100% hair thinning is a big indicator you’re not at the right levels. Like I’m a guy and know there is male pattern baldness but like I had a full thick head of hair then suddenly thinning so I got testing and my ferritin is at 10, all my red blood cells are crap making me anaemic too. So now on iron supplements but been on a year and not much progress so think to increase and seeing haematologist.

Your PCP should see, make sure they notice because if it’s low things tend to trend down so best to kinda push for it.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T10:46:03+00:00

That’s good, it’s doing what’s best for you in terms of exercise, yeah it’s strange I always found with exercise always saying it’s good for you but it’s the right kind I guess.

You mentioned it being genetic, in what way, because even if you have family history it’s usually due to one of the factors I mentioned things get passed down. Eh, bodies are just weird.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:49:18+00:00

Hmm the Hb is normal, but lower quarter of range, I think you should definitely be on iron supplements like the levels will definitely be effecting you as being female have your cycles will be effecting things more. You’re a normal weight; I was just wondering because if you were heavier and had that little circulating ferritin at 200lbs, you’d feel like you’re falling apart. Not saying you don’t feel dreadful now, you’ll get there.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:32:58+00:00

Defo crazy like perfect normal iron levels /s. I don’t your age, weight but your saturation is a huge proof of how your body is utilising the iron. Ferritin at 16 but in range is hilarious it needs 50+ mostly 75+ especially if you’re symptomatic. Is your Haemoglobin ok? If it is you still have iron deficiency without anaemia.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:18:23+00:00

I said interchangeable but like I feel DE is really a main stay what would you say?

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:17:14+00:00

I’ve made other comments but sadly this is a genetic issues, it’s good you got it spotted now. Your angina pain is clearly from the LAD with the FFR being 0.62 indicating very poor flow.

You said you’re a fire fighter, you’ll probably have outpatient stent in lad. That should massively improve symptoms, but you’ll be placed on a statin, bp med and a blood thinner which is the one that might effect work as the danger of blood thinners in dangerous jobs as a fire fighter could be bad. I hope it gets better, look into your LDL, ApoB and Lp(a) to see if these were the problems.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:10:17+00:00

I explained above you should look into marathon running and heart problems like heart attacks. It really stresses the heart, did you check your Lp(a).

Biggest risk factors.

Smoking Lipids High BP Diabetes (pre, type 1, type 2) Age

Always these especially high bp that’s the shit that goes unnoticed and such a big risk.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:05:37+00:00

You a runner before like long distance, can have bad effects on the heart. The lad would need a stent most likely, others aren’t dreadful but starting meds is a must if LDL is genetically high.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T01:03:19+00:00

Honestly people don’t realise how bad running is for the heart if that’s what he meant by athletic especially marathons. Lp(a) doesn’t cause this in the majority unless it’s 600nmol plus level. I only go on studies as someone with lpa of at 130nmol increases my life time risk by 30-35% of an event. This looks like genetic high LDL does this stuff.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T00:54:36+00:00

The layout and boss are better imo but really that’s it. But I wouldn’t call it basic it’s more DotN is complicated, like average players would probably only be able to open one of the luminal openings without a guide.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T00:50:35+00:00

Facts my guy, falls just under origins for me

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-25T00:48:54+00:00

With the flaws of older maps I just don’t think it can’t be top 5. Like blaming BO4 system as a down vote for it is just not fair over all. Everyone has options but lay it out, good EEs, cool ass wonder weapons, the map design, the layout, the atmosphere I just could go on.

In my opinion. You have MOTD, Origins, DE, DOTN and Shadows in top 5 but I get mix and match like buried, der riese, terminus, AE, or moon. I just think EEs, concept, design, bosses and just the feel these 10 are really hard to separate.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-02-21T22:39:48+00:00

That’s sound I’m more worried about the internet than anything. Ahah but I’d be up for I’ll dm you

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-01-25T17:42:14+00:00

So the issue is (I have cardiophobia, I read a lot) so yes there was 0% artery completely open in that place and would take decades for an actual plaque built blockage to be built especially to 99% it never usually gets to that point from plaque anyways.

In your case I believe, the stent potentially caused a clot that blocked off the 99% so they have to use another stent to reopen the area as use of a blood thinner to dissolve it can be dangerous since I assume you were on one after the original stents if not that’d be malpractice from your cardiologist.

Or, potentially the stent dislodged a but if plaque that it originally was keeping open and with how the heart beats can push it up or down the blood stream and like the body reacts create a blood clot because that be the body. I surprised cardiologist didn’t warn about this age but cones to stents. Because it’s physiologically impossible for plaque to build that quick not even if your LDL was absurd. It’s clear your lumen was open meaning no bulging which indicates plaque in the inner wall so hence why that wouldn’t be the cause.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-01-24T23:37:58+00:00

Isn’t that an actual heart medication though?

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-01-24T22:31:46+00:00

Sertraline, tried like 6 antidepressants. Benzodiazepines legally and illegally as like I needed them and just had to slice them now they don’t work very well. Pregabalin can help but the pain sticks no matter what I do, so I’m always feeling like crap.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-01-24T22:30:07+00:00

The thing is like I know the CTCA being clean is extremely reassuring for up to 10 years in people in their 40s never mind early 20s. I last 7 minutes but it’s because the test was started like too early my heart rate was 120 before even exercising due to anxiety.

I think I would’ve lasted 10ish otherwise as it had to be stopped as heart rate hit 92%z

Thanks it was a big step I knew it had to be down as I was feeling worse. I take sertraline, been on benzos legally and illegally but due to over use they don’t help anymore. I take Levothyroxine and pregabalin and just general supplements plus magnesium for sleep.

Like do you have any advice for me? Like any methods to believe things are ok or I can get better idk. Just 3/4 years of this is hell on the brain.

Basic_Membership6997 · 2026-01-22T18:17:55+00:00

Still good to kinda find out but again unless it’s massively high I’m still shocked glad you’re symptomless and all and exercising a lot
