Got the results of my stress test yesterday -- everything is normal. Looks like the chest pain/discomfort I was experiencing was probably just gas from taking fish oil pills, as I stopped taking them a few days ago and it pretty much went away. Technician who ran the test said she couldn't hear a heart murmur -- could be good news?
Also got myself weighed by one of the fancy scales at the protein shake place I got to sometimes. Not sure how it works, but it calculates body fat percentage, hydration, and a whole host of other stuff. To my surprise, I was "in the green" on every category except for BMI, where I am nearly in the green (but I already knew that -- I am less than 5 pounds overweight). According to their calculations, my "fitness age" is 37, which is less than my actual age of 42.
All of which was nicer to learn than that my coronary arterial age is 70 or so, after getting that CT scan that revealed abominable CAC.
