A member asked:
What are the signs on a person who is near death? pt. walks but may be unsteady, eats well but appetite not as robust, now has sad and forlorn look.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing specific.: People who are near death usually are very weak, have shallow breathing but have a calm about them because they are ready to die. The symptoms you are describing can be from many conditions besides near death such as depression, cancer, heart disease, neurological condition, etc. The person you are talking about should see a primary care physician for evaluation.
