A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should know caus: Before worrying, 1st figure out the cause & effect. What symptoms do you have? What problems could the calcification have caused? What is your cholesterol profile like? Any family history of early stroke or heart attacks? All this & more go into a calculation of risk+benefit before deciding on what to do, or what to worry about. Talk to your doctor or use HealthTap Prime. Good luck.
