Acute coronary syndrome in the presence of an allergic reaction is known as Kounis syndrome, which is an underdiagnosed disorder and has nuances regarding management. We present a patient brought to the hospital as an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) alert in the setting of an allergic reaction triggered by food.
