The point I'm really trying to make is that if a passenger specifically says they are unwell, or if they are not totally conscious, please ask or just keep an eye on them. If I had had a heart attack I suspect no-one would have noticed.
Crew can do a great deal on board, and I am certain that they would have been able to get hold of paracetamol for you given that that is about the first thing that you'd put into a first aid kit and aircraft have much more than that. There will also be access to specialist advice that helps the crew to decide whether or not to divert to offload a seriously ill passenger, and as we know there are plenty of medical diversions that obviously first needed the crew to notice that someone was seriously unwell.
So I think it would be quite wrong to tar all crew with this brush, whatever the truth of whatever happened to you on your flight.
