Hospice professionals successfully manage symptoms of pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry mouth, appetite loss, anxiety, depression and confusion. Treating pain is one of the most important services provided by hospice care. Many serious diseases, such as cancer and AIDS, cause pain. Pains vary in severity from mild to shooting, aching, piercing or pinching. Many factors influence the perception of pain, including mood, activity level, stress, and the availability of pain-relieving therapies.
