What are the symptoms of patients with cor pulmonale before death?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please tell me what symptoms are common in patients with pulmonary heart disease before they pass away?

Doctor's answer:

According to your current condition, if pulmonary heart disease occurs, this situation will likely manifest obvious symptoms such as shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. If this occurs, it is recommended to consider seeking timely medical treatment at a hospital. During the progressive stage of chronic pulmonary heart disease, symptoms such as orthopnea may often appear. In severe cases, complications like pulmonary encephalopathy may develop.
