Diagnostic dilemma: A woman got ‘broken heart syndrome’ after eating too much wasabi

The patient: A 60-year-old woman in Be’er Sheva, Israel

The symptoms: While enjoying the food at a wedding, the woman began feeling a painful pressure in her chest that then radiated into her arms. This sensation persisted for several hours, although the pain subsided enough that she opted to stay at the reception. The next day, lingering chest pain, discomfort and generalized feelings of weakness prompted her to seek medical care.
