The patient diagnosis should be ST-elevated myocard infarct(STEMI) which was mostly caused by a thrombus in the cardiac vessel reducing the supply of oxygen. In this case, there are a few kind of drug that might be needed.
Give the patient oxygen then nitrate given sublingually to dilate the cardiac vein so the oxygen to heart increased. Analgesic drug can be given to reduce the pain(up to morfin).
Optional drug:
An antiplatelet drug(aspirin/clopidogrel) can be given if there is no sign of active bleeding. Anticoagulant also an option but it has many things to be considered. If the blood pressure increased you can give anti-hypentensive drug. If the patient also has heart failure and have fluid overload, furosemide can also be administered.

How can you assess pallor in a patient with dark skin?
seraphim [82]

Pallor is a pale color of the skin. If a patient is dark-skinned, you can assess it in three different ways. First, you can assess his or her Buccal Mucosa. Buccal Mucosa refers to the interior lining of the cheeks and surface of the mouth. Second, you can check the patient’s sclera. Sclera refers to the white exterior coating of the eyeball. Last but not the least, you can also check the patient’s conjunctiva. Conjunctiva refers to the mucous membrane that shelters the front of the eye.
