High calcium score: I'm in shock

Recently had my second coronary calcium scan. It was in the mid 2200’s. Five years ago it was in mid 1800’s. I had a nuclear stress test after each coronary calcium scan. It show no significant abnormalities both times. The doctor said calcium buildup outside arteries. Confused!

@beaverstreefarm
It is confusing. My scan showed calcification along LAD.
However, a cardiac cath this year showed clear coronary arteries. Explanation was calcification on the outside.
You have good test results- that’s reassuring.
