What Causes Over Heat Of The Body While On The Death Bed?
A relative of mine died recently but i keep puzzling about the same thing so wondered if you could explain please.
he was terminally ill. he became agitate throughout his last day & constantly was saying he was hot all day kicking the sheets off him. eventually his breathing became very rapid for the last few hours & then all of a sudden just stopped.
i just wondered why he was complaining of being so hot?
why did his breathing become so rapid?
could it have been pneumonia?
all of this was only in the last 4-5 hours

hiii dear
no its not pneumonia
but in terminal stage , our body functions starting debilitating, they are not producing energy ,blood etc
for this they have to make more effort to pumping heart
all are like vicious cycle and difficulty in survive make him more agitated
some times he was expecting that soon he is going to die thats make him more agitated
due to this breathing become fast he becomes restless etc
so this all about our body functions and dysfunctions
thank u
