Initial Impression: Possible Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of a cardiac event based on chest pain characteristics and associated symptoms

- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical intervention to minimize myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:

3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given no recent travel or immobilization)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given radiation and associated symptoms)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and acquisition
- Oxygen administration
- Aspirin administration if not contraindicated
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
