Acute coronary syndrome may present in a wide distribution of symptoms. The classic presentation includes substernal chest pain, neck pain, dyspnea or syncope. In patients with coronary risk factors who present with headaches, acute coronary syndrome is rare, but has been previously reported. We describe a case of 63-year-old female who presented with a severe headache and developed a Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
