Med quiz - just how good is dr. Google?

Quite a few people in here seem to think that Google is far better than any doctor could possibly be. So, let's put it to the test.

In a number of rounds, I'll present cases. Using Google, you can do a differential diagnosis, and see if you're able to find out the most likely disease causing the symptoms.

A very simple case to start:

Round 1
Male
50 years old
semi-regular dizziness and fainting
occasional shortness of breath
chest pains

Have fun!
