Mum, 36, died of heart attack after ‘hospital sent her home with paracetamol and misdiagnosis of trapped nerve’

A MUM died of a heart attack after being sent home from hospital with paracetamol, her family say. Jade Ellis had pain in her left arm then severe chest pains and was rushed to A&E after calling NHS 111. Despite showing symptoms consistent with acute coronary syndrome - when blood flow to the heart is limited - the 36-year-old was allegedly diagnosed with a trapped nerve .

Tests, which could have shown signs she was having heart trouble, weren't carried out, and she was told to go home. Hours later, Jade had a fatal heart attack at home. Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board has admitted liability by "breach of duty and causation".

Her family, including Jade's children, Deanna Ellis, 20, and Brandon Ellis, 23, say they received an £130,000 payout in July this year. Jade's mum Sandra Bartlett, 61, a retired cook from Port Talbot, Wales , said: "Jade didn't need to die - I just feel like she was so robbed of life over one singular error.

"The doctor hadn't done a blood test. Had she had a blood test, she would have been saved. Most read in Health "We're a family that's been broken and smashed to smithereens.

"She trusted that doctor when he said, 'Go home, you've got a trapped nerve'. She trusted him and came home and died." Jade, from Port Talbot, who worked for travel .
