As a medical professional with experience in palliative care, I can provide you with some of the common signs that may indicate that death is near. It's important to remember that these signs can vary greatly from person to person, and not every individual will exhibit all of these symptoms. Here are some of the signs to look out for: 1. Different sleep-wake patterns: Patients may spend more time sleeping or become drowsy. 2. Little appetite and thirst: There may be a decreased interest in food and drink. 3. **Fewer and smaller bowel movements and less pee**: A reduction in the frequency and volume of urination and bowel movements can occur. 4. More pain: Although pain management is a critical part of end-of-life care, some patients may experience increased pain. 5. **Changes in blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate**: Vital signs may become irregular. 6. Body temperature ups and downs: The skin may feel cool or clammy, and the body's temperature can fluctuate. read more >>
