Does a normal exercise stress test mean there are no blockages and no coronary diseases? what percentage of blockage does it detect?

No: A normal stress test does not mean that there are no blockages. This test is not perfect by any means, i.e. There are false negative results as well. The likelihood of a significant blockage is less when there is a normal stress test.
