“Fact: Among terminal lung disease patients, 95% report breathlessness as a symptom. It can feel like you’re drowning, gasping for air. Morphine opens the blood vessels allowing more blood circulation within the respiratory system. This makes it easier for the lungs to get the bad gases out and the good gases in. The patient becomes calm, their breathing slows down.”
