Initial Impression: Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Justification for F2 Classification:

- Patient risk factors: hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, family history of heart disease
- Time-sensitive condition requiring rapid intervention to minimize myocardial damage

Differential Diagnoses:

2. Angina Pectoris (less likely given severity and duration of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely, no tearing pain reported)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely, no sudden onset of severe dyspnea)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- ECG monitoring and interpretation
- Oxygen administration
- Administration of Aspirin if not already taken
- Preparation for transport to nearest hospital with cardiac catheterization lab
