It's actually all the other things. The strokes, the kidney failure, the bleeding of your lungs, all the other diseases you get from the hospital, not to mention the life support machine itself and being put into an induced coma. I was on life support for 39 days I would definitely shorten the amount of time I was on it if I could. my mussels went to crap and I had to build them back up before I could walk again. That was really difficult. I couldn't even feed myself.
The most limiting symptoms would be ,shortness of breath..becoming tired easily . Breathing as if running a marathon when one just toweled off leaving the tub. The 1st symptom ,I'd remove is..shortness of breath..give me air..lots of O2..and strength..yes that's another side effect one becomes extremely weak and dependent on another human to do things for them..labored and rapid breathing
muscle fatigue and general weakness
low blood pressure
discolored skin or nails
a dry, hacking cough
a fever
headaches
a fast pulse rate
mental confusion
Shortness of breath, low oxygen levels, mine starting with vomiting after I was in a corn maze in 2006 I felt fine and started getting sick 1 day later
After throwing up all night I eventually passed out and aspirated into my lungs for 9-10 hours.
I woke up and and symptoms began. I was disoriented could barely walk and within hours I was on life support. I was a healthy 36 year old and very active
