CT Coronary Angiogram?

[noblues]

In the end I never had the scan.

Partly because my C6/7 disc at the base of my kneck was diagnosed on an MRI as being herniated probably causing my left chest pains.

All said and done I do in many ways regret not having it.

I did get a carotid artery calcium score, this is zero risk by ultrasound and gives a good indication of your amount of coronary calcification. Mine was low for my age, so it's very unlikely I have blocked coronary arteries.

Appreciated the reply, thanks for taking the time. I’ll hold off the scan I think, I’ve got Costochondritis which also give my chest grief, done a stress echo, holter and ekg all fine, and cardiologist is happy. At 39 I’d be sh*t out of luck I think.

Have a great day/evening.
