RESUMO
Chest pain frightens many people into thinking that they might be having a heart attack. There are many causes of chest pain, few of which are life-threatening. One of the causes of chest pain is vasospasms, which is transient in nature and prolonged episodes can lead to tissue necrosis. Therefore, a prompt diagnosis and treatment is vital to the management. We are reporting a case of a young female presented with chest pain with no history of drug use, previous episodes, palpitations, and hypertension being her only risk factor found to have elevated Troponin I and was diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), later found to have coronary vasospasm.
