Allergic angina and allergic myocardial infarction are ubiquitous diseases covering a wide spectrum of mast cell activation disorders, which are associated with acute coronary syndromes and are referred to as ''Kounis Syndrome''. Here, we report a case admitted with dyspnea and mild chest heaviness secondary to bee sting, later diagnosed as Kounis syndrome.
