[QUOTE="AZHTR, post: 2244582, member: 105904"] Great advice and I’m certainly happy for your outcome👍 My nephew is a firefighter and they are required to complete an annual physical. BUT the annual physical does NOT test for LAD (widow maker) blockage or the other two arteries that feed the heart. Two of his captains (50 & 58 years old) both passed the annual physical but had heart attacks about 4-6 months after their physical. One had a blockage of 60% and the other was 72% blocked. So NOW it’s required to test via a “[B]Calcium Score[/B]” (scale of 1 to 30) which actually measures the potential blockage. Very EASY scan test that most doctors DON’T do unless you request it. I went to “Heart Fit for Responders” (Medical Facility) and paid out of pocket for my Calcium Score test and you can too. It was around ~$125 buck or so, but well worth it knowing I had a very low score. [/QUOTE]
