How can I have 90% RCA blockage with no plaque or coronary artery disease. I had a stent placed yesterday for a 90% blockage of RCA. When doing Catherization they found no coronary artery disease in any of my arteries. They want to treat me with medications for CAD, my calcium score is zero. A stress test found the blockage. I have coronary vaso spasms to. I had been telling my doctors for the past three months that something was wrong, pressure and pain in my chest just brushing my teeth or washing up. My doctors said they really do not know how this happened.

Did you receive the stress test due to the pressure and pain? Did they perform any other tests?
