5 signs of impending death named

by time news

There are several signs that an elderly person or someone with a terminal illness is nearing the end, reports the Daily Express, citing data from the National Institute of Aging at the US National Institutes of Health. The first symptom is shortness of breath, sometimes referred to as “air hunger.”

There are also certain mental signs that the person is about to die. This is increased depression or anxiety. Also, the person may feel very tired or “sleepy”. The fourth sign is low alertness, a person notices and reacts little to what is happening around.

Finally, the fifth sign is refusal to eat or drink, or loss of appetite. Each symptom taken separately is not a symptom of impending death, but all together or any for a person suffering from a serious illness means an imminent death. “In addition, when a person approaches death, his hands, feet or legs may be cold to the touch,” – says the study of American scientists.

In humans, some parts of the body may become darker or bluer. Breathing and heart rate slows down. There are also times when a person’s breathing becomes abnormal, this is called Cheyne-Stokes breathing. It resembles gurgling sounds or a death rattle, after which the body ceases to show signs of life.
