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!

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.
