Where was the calcification? in breast or heart.. Would be unusual to have at your age in heart unless you have family history of early heart disease and/or have been a smoker and/or had unrecognized high blood pressure or high lipids. Discuss with your Cards. Heart pain caused by exercise is often caused by heart artery narrowing from atherosclerosis which eventually becomes calcified..
