Pain and other symptoms
- Sometimes there is a surge in pain or other physical symptoms. This is not unusual as death approaches.
- There are many other symptoms that may occur which can best be described as emotional, spiritual or psychological. Should you feel that your relative is experiencing these symptoms, for example; visual experiences (hallucinations), feeling fearful or anxious or behaving differently, please talk to a member of the healthcare team. These symptoms occur just as commonly as the physical symptoms, but again, not everyone experiences them all. By talking to a member of the healthcare team, they can direct you to the most appropriate professional in order to answer your questions and suggest ways of coping.
