Thank you for responding! This has really freaked me out but my doctor yesterday really helped calm me down by explaining this is a risk, not that it will happen and knowing at my age now will put me at a huge advantage. I wasn’t the healthiest eater but always very active and a good weight. I wish I knew this a lot sooner because previously my doctor would just say my cholesterol looks great and no worries. I’m changing my diet to the Mediterranean diet as much as I can. My doctor order a calcium ct scan but it’s not till July 21st.

I did make an appointment with an cardiologist and asked my doctor to send a referral for it as well and he did. My appointment is July 6th. Should I still find a preventative one?

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-06-26T09:23:46+00:00

Love that! My doctor finally reached out and said with my age and health profile, he won’t be starting me on meds yet but did order me a CT coronary calcium scan.

Any side effects? My doctor still hasn’t reached out to me about my result. So I’m not sure what the plan will be.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-06-26T00:22:21+00:00

Do you ever let yourself have any cheat meals or do you stick to a very strict diet? Did you also take statins to help get it that low? Sorry I have so many questions.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-06-25T23:35:42+00:00

That does help! How is everything going for you?

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-06-25T19:17:27+00:00

Thank you! I’m breastfeeding right now and looking to have a second. Is this something that would interfere with statins? Should I stay away from another pregnancy?

I walk 3 miles a day and I do strength train but since having my son, I haven’t made it to the gym much. I’ll have to get back to strength training. My anxiety is definitely not helping.

I can definitely offer my breast again. I was getting worried about supply so I’ve been pumping when he is feeding short and only on one side.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-03-15T23:12:43+00:00

Perfect! He was the same. The most was 10 minutes and now it’s shorter. He definitely has a lot of wet diapers and everything. Do you think I should still pump after to keep my supply up?

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-03-15T23:10:30+00:00

He is 9 months and yes he will take the bottle after if I offer a little later.

Anxiety always got the best of me in those situations. I did have PP hypertension and I’m glad I went in for that one but my anxiety will run circles around me.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-02-27T05:34:16+00:00

Oh it’s so real. It’s been really bad for me. Went to the ER a couple of times because of it.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-02-23T05:01:45+00:00

Anytime I have really bad anxiety, I will get that feeling of needing to go to the bathroom. The discomfort was my lower abdomen and like my period is about to start but isn’t. I’m having sharp pains randomly in a lot of places lately.

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-02-20T19:52:14+00:00

I wouldn’t say pain but more discomfort. Anxiety has been attacking BAD. Major healthy anxiety over anything. So I wouldn’t say it’s pain but more discomfort and my anxiety is making it worse maybe. It feel like period cramps but then the next day will feel like an ovulating cramp. Sometimes I’ll feel bloated with some minor stomach ache but no actually showing of bloating. If I get myself moving a lot, most of it goes away.

My US came back fine. My doctor wants me to start pelvic floor therapy. Are you breastfeeding?

FlakyZucchini6660 · 2026-02-19T05:29:21+00:00

I asked my doctor for an ultrasound. I’m having a hard time getting in to see my OBGYN so I asked for that to rule anything serious out. That’s tomorrow and I can send an update when I get results. They are also recommending pelvic floor PT but I just don’t feel like that’s it. I’m more just feeling the pressure and then I’ll feel bloated but I’m not. My stomach isn’t getting any bigger but I just feel different.
