The GAA commentator's personal experiences with heart issues emphasize the importance of being vigilant about cardiac health. As he supports the Irish Heart Foundation's campaign, he highlights a worrying decline in the public's understanding of the risks associated with untreated high blood pressure. Recent research indicates reduced rates of awareness about the consequences of high blood pressure, demonstrating a need for increased education and proactive health measures, especially for individuals over 50, who should regularly check their blood pressure to mitigate potential health risks.
"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."
"When you get your blood pressure checked, and it's high, that's your chance to take the warning and do something about it."
