“He kept complaining about chest pains and said it was like needles, so straight away because of his complex needs, [I thought] ‘Do I call the doctor or do I call the ambulance?’
“I don’t like it when people waste ambulances time because a lot of people to do that.
“Harvey is at high risk anyway at the moment due to coronavirus.”
Katie's eldest son has rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome as well as other health complications including Septo-optic dysplasia, which has caused him to be blind.
He is also autistic and has an underactive thyroid and diabetes.
Katie went on to say Harvey underwent a ECG and a blood test at the hospital.
She added: “The problem was when they pressed down on his chest they said it was quite muscular.
“Some people can pull a muscle in their sleep or when working out, but in Harvey’s situation, clearly he doesn’t work out.
“They said if you pushed down and it hurts, it came sometimes be like a blood clot.
“So, just for safety they took him to hospital. They think he’s just got a chest infection coming, that’s it.
