Katie Price Pleads for Private Doctors to Treat Son Harvey Over Heart-Attack Fears

Harvey, 23, has Prader–Willi syndrome causing rapid weight gain.

Overview

  • Price used Instagram Stories to ask for contacts to private doctors, writing that the NHS are not helping and that she cannot lose her son.
  • On her podcast, she described Harvey snoring, wheezing and briefly holding his breath during sleep and recalled doctors warning he is prone to a heart attack if he does not lose weight.
  • She said she will not administer injections herself and stressed that appropriate medical supervision is required for any treatment.
  • Reports state Harvey weighs just under 30 stone, and Price has been pushing lifestyle changes such as gym sessions so he can meet goals like riding rollercoasters for his birthday.
  • Coverage also notes family concern and scrutiny of her recent marriage to Lee Andrews after investigations questioned his claims and reported a recent Dubai jail stay, though she continues to support him.
