A member asked:

I recently had a calcium scan and my calcium score was zero. the doctor told me to cut my lipitor from 80 mg to 40 mg and to stop taking my zodiac. i am not on blood pressure medicine, but my blood pressure has been slightly elevated lately?

Zodiacs: Well there are many meanings for zodiac I'm not sure what you mean by it. At 69 with a calcium score of zero that's good news. The slightly elevated bp is meaningless without numbers. If it isn't above 140 at rest systolic that's good. Not sure what you're asking with the ?
