Cavernoma Awareness and Support Group
|
Cavernoma Ireland is a voluntary support group. Our goal is to raise awareness of cavernomas, and its consequences for those affected.
The group’s mission is to help people living in Ireland who are affected by cavernomas, including friends, family, carers and professionals.
A cavernoma is made up of abnormal blood vessels and can be found mostly in the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can include; haemorrhage, strokes, seizures, headaches. Neurological partial/full paralysis, tremors, weakness, numbness, fatigue, memory and concentration difficulties, speech and eyesight problems. The type, severity, combination and duration of symptoms vary, depending on the location of the cavernoma. 1 in 625 people have a cavernoma. Cavernomas can either be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Cavernomas causing symptoms are rare.
At least 1 in 400,000 people are diagnosed with a symptomatic cavernoma each year. Cavernomas can either be sporadic or hereditary (genetic). The hereditary form is recognised as a rare disease. There is no known cure currently, however there are different ways to treat symptoms. To learn more visit www.cavernomaireland.ie

Her Heart Matters: Know the Signs of Heart Attack
|
Symptoms of Heart Attack in Women
One in four women dies from heart disease and stroke each year, the same as men. Yet, women are less likely to recognise heart attack symptoms and take longer to seek medical help. The Irish Heart Foundation, supported by the Department of Health and the HSE, are launching their Her Heart Matters campaign this September, to help women care for their hearts. The good news is that 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable through healthy lifestyles. Running throughout September, the campaign provides practical information and supportive tools for women.
If you are concerned about your risk of heart disease, talk to your doctor. Use the tips on our website to start the conversation.
Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack can help you get timely treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Chest pain spreading to the neck, shoulder, and left arm
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness
- Vomiting or nausea
- Sweating
Less common symptoms: Back pain, Stomach pain, Extreme fatigue
These symptoms can also occur in other conditions, so don’t ignore them. If You Think You’re Having a Heart Attack. If you think you’re having a heart attack, call 112 or 999 immediately. A heart attack is a medical emergency. The faster you get treatment, the less damage there will be to your heart.
Stay as calm as possible while waiting for help. Take deep, slow breaths and do not drive yourself to the hospital. To learn more about heart attack and how to protect your heart, visit www.irishheart.ie
