How Much Pain Can Pulmonary Hypertension Cause To Kids?
my 8-years old son has died a month ago from cardiac arrest, due to pulmonary hypertension. It started with him making a horrible growling noise for about 5 minutes or so. I can t get that noise out of my head and am worried continuously that he experienced terrible pain. How likely is it that he was in a lot pain before dying?

Hello,
Sorry to hear that..
In last stages or when someone make such sounds, it implies that his is brain has also started to fail or having decreased awareness. Its like, one is going into deep sleep or anaesthesia. So probably he didn't feel much pain in last five minutes as his awareness about pain must have simultaneously gone down. So just relax. Hope this helps you.
