when you die from blood loss, do you feel like you are dying from not being able to breathe? Because your lungs are breathing but you’re not getting oxygen where it needs to go, would it feel something like suffocating?

I have always wondered why executing the death sentence on some prisoner isnt carried out by simple jabbing a needle with a tube leading to a floor drain into their arm and letting them bleed out. Instead the authorities mess around with weird drug mixes and electric chairs and always seem to mess it up somehow.
you know how sometimes you stand up too fast and you feel dizzy?
it would feel like that, except you’d lose consciousness too.
I lost 2 pints after a hemorrhage, I lost consciousness way before it got to that much and didn’t even know it was happening. I didn’t feel anything like pain or distress, I was just tired and closed my eyes and passed out and when I woke up there were a dozen doctor’s and nurses around me.
Quite honestly I think it’s probably a nice way to go, very peaceful. Assuming you are already totally numb to the cause of the blood loss like I was from the epidural and not caused by some horrific injury.
Lost loads of blood during a stupid dentist accident (guy lost his license after that, wasn’t the first mishap) but I was send home to wait it off… It didn’t stop bleeding so my mom brought me to the hospital.
Tbh you start to first feel a bit dizzy, then everything sounds muffled and then you feel peaceful if that makes any sense? I passed out on the emergency waiting room and woke up in a bed with a blood bag attached to my arm. They added adrenaline to the wound to stop the bleeding and sewn shut.
I don’t know what it is but the peacefulness before you fully faint felt nice, first you’re panicking, feeling dizzy and then suddenly it’s fully quiet and you don’t feel pain anymore.
you will feel dehydration and extreme thirst
this is why ppl dying from trauma, think battles, are given water
When I was little, I frequently suffered from SIDS. Beleive me when I tell you, I know what drowning feels like.
When I donate blood, I feel cooler and weaker throughout my arm. I think it’d be like that, but where the wound is and slowly creeping outwards until becoming unconscious.
I have very little blood in my body, and I am always struggling to get a breath, so I’d imagine you would probably just about suffocate.
I haven’t suffered from severe blood loss, but I have suffered from severe lack of blood pressure, which I imagine feels similar. It’s incredibly unpleasant; your whole body is just in an uproar about not getting oxygen. You become weak, dizzy and it really just feels like your life is slipping out of your body. I wasn’t in any danger, but it genuinely felt like I was dying.
No, you don’t feel like you can’t breathe. You feel sleepy because your brain starts to shut down. Your heart slows because it’s the most oxygen consuming organ in the body and without enough oxygen it can’t work. As you drift to sleep, your heart fails, and so do your other organs. By the time this is impactful, you’re already unconscious. You die in your sleep. Other than the “feeling of impending doom” it’s probably one of the most peaceful ways to go.
Better than a pulmonary embolism, which DOES feel like you can’t breathe.
