What is mild calcifaction of the lung
Yes, you should be concerned. Are you on cholesterol medication? Lipitor studies have shown that Lipitor not only reduces cholesterol, but reduces cholesterol already in the arteries and maybe heart valves. You may want to check into it. The calcification can change from mild to moderate relatively fast, so you will want to watch it carefully. Has your doctor spoke to you about echocardiograms every few months to monitor the calcification? Definitely eating healthy helps. Stay away from processed meats, red meats, adding extra salt to meals. Eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, brown rice, salmon, nuts, whole grain.
