What is a Coma?
A coma is a prolonged state of unconsciousness caused by a serious brain injury, illness, or medical condition. It is characterized by unresponsiveness to stimuli and a lack of voluntary movement. Generally, a coma lasts for a few weeks, although some people may remain in a coma for months or even years.
What Causes a Coma?
Comas can be caused by a variety of conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, anoxia (lack of oxygen), drug overdose, and metabolic disorders. In some cases, the cause of a coma is unknown.
What Does it Feel Like to be in a Coma?
It is impossible to know what it feels like to be in a coma because the person is unconscious and unable to communicate. However, some people who have been in comas have reported having some awareness of their surroundings, such as being able to hear conversations and feel physical sensations.
