Likely: Musculoskeletal or GI in etiology...Sounds like a false positive ct angiogram which can overestimate stenosis due to blooming effect of calcium.

Likely GI: Spasm in the coronary artery can cause chest pain despite of normal epicardial coronaries by angiography. Other posibility for the chest pain is gi.
