Please explain

My calcium score total was 252. My angiogram showed that I have a chronic blockage in my obtuse marginal.I do not have any symptoms. My cardiologist did not want to do anything. The rest of my arteries only have a very mild decease.  I have stopped smoking and taking good care of myself. I am taking a 100 mg Asprin every day as per my doctors recommendation. I am also a very well controlled Diabetic.
   My lipid levels are below normal. I take 10 Mg of Lipitor every night as a part of my diabetic medication. I am very careful with my diet and avoid fatty foods. My question is can I occasionaly treat myself with a BIG MAC or FISH and CHIPS and or with a good Australian steak?
   My other question is can I be allowed to take ED drugs such as Viagra.
My BP, sugar levels and Lipids are all normal and well controlled.
Thanks.

You may want to consult a doctor regarding the medication that is appropriate for you.  It appears your vessels are healthy and not a medical problem, and occasionally eating the food you mention should not be any problem.  You are taking good care of yourself, and you will benefit going forward.
