Can people with Arteriovenous Malformation AVM work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Arteriovenous Malformation AVM give their opinion about whether people with Arteriovenous Malformation AVM can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Arteriovenous Malformation AVM
This depends strongly on what kind of work they perform normally, as well as whether they have received treatment for the avm.
If avm is ruptured and actively bleeding, it's highly unlikely the person will be able to perform any kind of work.
Once treated, it's possible to slowly ease back into work, provided the work is easy and not very physical.
All brain trauma causes extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, and a general feeling bad, so working can be tricky.

Again, this would be dependent upon the location of the AVM and how the AVM has affected you.

I was a Massage Therapist. My AVM Nidus starts in my right buttock. I started having swelling and pain in my right arm/breast. I had a DVT in my Internal right Jugular and brachial vein. I had to end my Massage Therapy career.

You can work in any profession but should avoid lifting or carrying heavy objects, as this can put increased pressure on weak blood vessels, most AVM's occur in the brain, but around 30% may occur in the heart. So if you are male avoid the building trade or anything which requires exertion that increases your blood pressure

If possible, a person with an AVM should avoid works that may excessively elevate blood pressure, such as heavy lifting or straining, and they should avoid blood thinners like warfarin.

Am just a layman but would assune so. Most AVM's go undiagnosed. Adfitional health issues may compicate this. My own husband is medically retired due to these and various other health issues.
