Dr. Oz Warns: “DANGER! 8 Signs That You’re Dying”
Increased sleeping and weakness: People near death often sleep more and experience significant fatigue. Daily activities may become exhausting, and they may spend most of their time in bed.
Changes in breathing: Breathing patterns may become irregular or shallow. Sometimes, a rattling sound in the chest, known as the “death rattle,” can occur due to fluids in the lungs.
Changes in bowel and bladder function: Bowel control may become weak, leading to incontinence. Urine output may also decrease significantly.
Withdrawal and loss of interest in surroundings: A person nearing death may withdraw from social interaction and become less responsive to their environment. They may seem preoccupied or have a distant gaze.
Restlessness and agitation: Some people experience restlessness, confusion, or anxiety as death approaches. This can be caused by medication side effects, underlying medical conditions, or the dying process itself.
Skin changes: Skin may become pale, blotchy, or cool to the touch as circulation weakens.
Saying goodbye: Sometimes, people nearing death may express a sense of impending doom or make statements about wanting to die or see deceased loved ones.
Again, it is important to note that these signs can occur in palliative care situations or during illnesses unrelated to death. If you are concerned about someone, seek professional medical advice.
