In the observation of 15 July, tiredness and weekness was reported. Evening meals was refused and difficulty to sleep was noticed, therefore tablet buscopan and tablet panadol was administered. After sometime a severe chest pain occurs, meanwhile pain radiating to the shoulder and neck, associated with chest tightness, distressed and sweating was noticed. Vital signs are unremarkable.
