Nurse Michelle describes changes to someone’s breathing that can happen towards the end of life. You might notice that someone has noisy or laboured breathing, feels breathless or their breathing might have an irregular pattern. Not everyone will have these changes, but many people will. Everyone’s experience is different. If you have questions, it’s best to speak to a healthcare professional.
You might find some of the descriptions of breathing changes in this video upsetting. If you do not feel ready to watch this video, you could come back to it another time.
