Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) - Possible Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of cardiac event based on chest pain characteristics, radiation, and associated symptoms
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and intervention
- Potential for rapid deterioration

Differential Diagnoses:

2. Unstable Angina (high probability)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain reported)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no reported risk factors)
5. Musculoskeletal Chest Pain (less likely given severity and radiation)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Oxygen administration
- ECG monitoring
- Pain management protocols initiation
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac services
