When does someone die? It is not easy to find out but a research has found that when a person gets closer to death, there are some special changes in his body and behavior. So what 8 symptoms appear in the body a few days before death? Know the complete information
Life and death … These are the two biggest truths! Perhaps seeing someone going in front of your eyes is the world’s biggest emotional struggle. When a person is very ill and reaches the final stage of life, when he is dead or close to death, his body gradually stops working under a certain process. Research has found that when a person is close to death, some special changes are seen in his body and behavior. A few days before the death, especially 5 to 7 days, which 8 major symptoms emerge in the body? Let’s learn about it.
Reduction of hunger and thirst – A few days before death or about a week before death, a dying person starts losing interest in eating and drinking. In such a situation, do not try to force them. Instead, try to keep the lips and mouth moist with the help of wet clothes, ice pieces or lip balm to relax them.
Increased sleep- As death comes near, the person usually starts sleeping more and even if he wakes up, he is drunk or does not respond. This increasing need of sleep is an indication that the body is slowly slowing down its functions and trying to protect the remaining energy. In the end, some people go into a state of semi-sore. Even if your loved ones do not give any response, they can still hear your words. Talking in a lighter voice, playing calm music or holding their hands – all these things can give them peace and peace.
Changes in normal habits of feces and urine -Due to eating and taking low fluid, the amount of excreta and urination also decreases. Some people may have problems with no inconvenience to control feces and urine or the excreta may stop completely. These changes may be difficult to see, but they are part of the natural process of death.
Lack of muscle power and fatigue -When death is near, then most of the body’s energy is only engaged in maintaining the actions of the essential organs, which left very little energy for normal physical activities. The result of this is that the person feels very weak and tired.
Fluing in living signals (vital signs) – Blood pressure may decrease when reaching close to death, heart rate can be irregular, pulse weakens, and breathing slows down.
Skin cools -When blood circulation slows down, the skin -especially on hands, feet and soles -starts feeling cold. Sometimes blue or purple spots also appear on the skin.
Change in breathing patterns and voice -The person may change the way of breathing in the last few days or hours. It can be fast, lighter or irregular and can also stay in between long, which is called cheyne-stoke respiration. Due to the accumulation of mucus or fluid in the throat of some people, there is a sound of wheezing or thunder when breathing comes, which is called “Dath Rattle”.
Confusion and vision (hallucination)-Some people see or hear things that are not really there. Often they can see their late loved ones or any spiritual power. Do not try to interrupt or argue them at such a time. Instead, adopt a calm and sympathetic attitude, so that they can get emotional relaxation.
