Severe deterioration of the general condition of the person

Severe deterioration of the general condition of a person refers to a significant decline in overall health, affecting multiple bodily systems and functions. This may manifest through extreme fatigue, rapid weight loss, and loss of appetite. Additionally, individuals may experience confusion, weakness, and difficulty performing daily activities, often accompanied by symptoms such as fever, severe pain, or shortness of breath. Various factors can cause this condition, including chronic illnesses like cancer, severe infections, or acute medical events such as heart attacks or strokes. Prompt medical attention is crucial to diagnose the underlying cause and initiate appropriate treatment to prevent further decline.
