My calcium score is 449 and I am only 56 years old. My left anterior descending artery has multifocal calcified plaque of 25-49%, the circumflex artery has 25-49%, and the right coronary is less than 25%. The score of 449 is very high for my age, and I have exercised and not smoked, although my bad cholesterol is up. How concerned should I be, as I have read that above 400 is dangerous? Is this correct?

I've tried Adderall in the past to help with focus during work, but I'm looking for other solutions. What additional treatments or therapies could help with my focus and overall recovery?

I have extreme fatigue and no energy. My B12 level was 273, and I feel so drained when I do any work. I also have anxiety. How long have you been dealing with this? Is there anything in particular that seems to make the symptoms better or worse? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?
