The article discusses the poignant remarks made by GAA commentator Morrissey, emphasizing the importance of being aware of cardiac health following personal losses. Backing the Irish Heart Foundation's 'Before Damage is Done' campaign, Morrissey warns against dismissing health warnings, using blood pressure checks as an analogy for taking preventive measures. Recent research indicates a decline in public awareness regarding the risks associated with untreated high blood pressure, including stroke and heart disease. The findings highlight the urgent need for education on these silent health threats, especially for those over 50.
"Sometimes we're a bit careless about it, 'Ah, we'll be grand'. But we do need to be far more aware of our own health."
"You are the best judge of anything that is wrong with you, so don't dismiss it - because your body is telling you something, and sometimes we ignore it or don't want to know about it."
