These are often grouped together under the term "Acute Coronary Syndrome" (ACS) and are potentially life-threatening. This occurs when a blood vessel supplying the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, a sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, and a family history of cardiovascular diseases (e.g., stroke, heart disease).
Typical Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction (MI) / Unstable Angina
- Stomach pain or tummy ache in a specific place
- Hands and feet turned pale and blue
- Difficulty breathing when lying down, which improves when sitting up
- Left-sided chest pain
- Similar chest pain to the previous heart attack
- Kidney failure on dialysis
- Losing consciousness during a physical activity
- Hands and feet are cold
Diagnostic Questions for Myocardial Infarction (MI) / Unstable Angina
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your stomach pain localized to one specific area?
- Is your skin colored either purple or blue?
- Do you have trouble breathing when lying down that gets better when you sit up?
- Do you have pain on the left side of your chest?
- Is your chest pain similar to your previous heart attack?
Treatment of Myocardial Infarction (MI) / Unstable Angina
This is a medical emergency and requires prompt medical attention in the hospital. Treatment aims to restore blood supply to the heart with medication to reduce blood clot size, prevent clot formation, and reduce the workload of the heart. Surgery or procedures are performed to open up the blocked artery supplying the heart or reroute blood around the blocked area.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
