Lucky to be alive: Jayde Dinsdale survived three cardiac arrests and spent three weeks in hospital (Picture: SWNS)

A teenager’s heart stopped three times and she had to be put in a coma after a two-hour Jägerbomb binge.

Student Jayde Dinsdale drank ten cocktails of the spirit Jägermeister and energy drink Red Bull on a two-for-one night.

But eight hours later, the 18-year-old collapsed in the bathroom at home and her life was saved by her father Darryl, 38, performing CPR learned from TV adverts starring Vinnie Jones.

Jayde, who spent 52 hours in a medically induced coma, is convinced the caffeine in the energy drinks was to blame and is calling for controls on their sale.




She said: ‘I hope people will think twice about drinking energy drinks. They could be deadly.’

The tourism and travel student said she spent two hours at a club on her night out last month. She was chatting to her mother, Natalie, as she washed her face the next morning when she collapsed.

Her mother, 38, said: ‘Her pulse was very faint and she started to go purple. She was dead on the bathroom floor. It’s a miracle that Jayde is still with us.’

Jayde had two more cardiac arrests after being taken to Yeovil Hospital, where she spent three weeks recovering.

Her family believes the caffeine only kicked in once the effects of the alcohol, which slows down the heart, wore off.

Energy drinks have previously been linked to health problems in the young, including the death of Joshua Merrick, 19, from Manchester, last year.

Red Bull declined to comment but, in the past, has insisted a can only contains the same caffeine as a cup of coffee.
