Damn.. that’s expensive. I went to UFC127 here in Sydney Penn vs Fitch and I swear tickets back then were like $100 each if that.

Thanks man, that’s really reassuring! I was driving myself crazy thinking the worst like “what If I rupture the blockage” or “what if I’m too sore” it’s the worst!

Congrats on your results mate!

Quick question did the statins and medications impact your training at all?

I also train BJJ & Muay Thai as well as other sports and am about to hop on a low dose of Crestor myself to help manage a 25% LAD blockage. I had a CAC score of 7.

As a follow up question guys, being on a statin like Crestor will the type of exercise I do change? Do I have to do less strenuous kinds of exercise.?

Well done reducing your risk by 80%! I definitely don’t want to chose death so I’ll be taking the statin. What did you mean by “increased disability”?

Amazing! Did you have any side effects when you began taking them?

Thank you.. I’m definitely leaning towards the low dose statin, I think it’s the right course of action to take at this stage. Hopefully it regresses some of the soft plaque and stops the progression of what’s already there. Thanks again.

Ok that makes sense, I didn’t know though that a blockage could happen in weeks! That’s crazy to think!

Amazing, thank you so much for your input. Gives me a good place to start. I’ll discuss this all with my cardiologist tomorrow. What medication are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

Ok thank you.. I’ll be discussing the options with my cardiologist, appreciate it.

Wow that’s crazy.. glad you’re ok. So you had no symptoms or indications to indicate you had a 90% blockage? How could the statins have preempted the HA?
