title: Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction with the use of oxymetazoline nasal spray.
abstract: Oxymetazoline is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist that is commonly used for nasal decongestion and is readily available without a prescription. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who developed prolonged chest pain associated with elevation of cardiac biomarkers after using oxymetazoline.
