A Dublin man is urging people to always listen to their bodies after he collapsed in front of his heavily pregnant wife with a stroke - and was then told he only had a bad headache.
Mick O’Donnell, originally from Blanchardstown, had a stroke in July 2021 after he woke up for work and felt that something was wrong in his body.
The now 35-year-old father-of-two told Dublin Live: “It was a Friday morning and I was getting up for work, and I just had this sudden pounding headache at the back of the head. I assumed that it was a migraine – I don't suffer from a migraine or anything, but I assumed it was.”
