hubby did not call today and was annoyed that I called him at noon to ask if he had called.

men!

Sometimes my husband is happy I call him at work for something and appreciates the opportunity to talk to me. Other times… not so much :eek:

Guessing that he thinks if he doesn't call the office it will go away.

If that is why you called.

I want him to get the calcium heart screen! It is a simple test to see how the arteries are, if their is placque build up.
My sisters office manager 's husband had one done and it showed blockages, he had to have 4 way bypass surgery. NO SYMPTOMS!
jeffs dad had open heart surgery so it runs in the family.

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) for Calcium Scoring?
 

I had that test done because my PCP was being careful when I was often complaining about chest pain due to anxiety.

The test itself takes exactly 90 seconds.

Insurance did not cover it. I had to pay exactly 90.00 dollars.

I had zero blockage. It was a relief and worth the money.

(Zero blockage likely because I have been on the calcium channel blocker
Verapamil since the 1990s.)

There is some exposure to radiation and such. . . . .Some tests
have more or less than others I believe.

finally my husband let me look at his lab results.
How many times must I ask him about this?
His total cholesterol was 276 and triglycerides were 170.
after a month on meds his total came back 180 and trig are 52. So there was much improvement!
When he was in the er his liver enzymes were slightly elevated. He had a lot to drink in florida(as did I) the doctor seemed to chalk it up to that. But it could be due to the statin. The new cardiologist office called him today and the time does not work out with his schedule. He is going to call them back tomorrow in the morning. Hubby has a very busy semester ahead of him.
