Unconsciousness
When someone is unable to respond to stimuli and appears to be asleep, they're referred to as being unconscious. They won't respond to shaking or loud sounds, they may have a faint pulse and may even stop breathing.
Unconsciousness is another symptom of fainting. When a person faints, they may be unconscious for a few seconds or minutes. If a person isn't breathing, someone should call emergency services and start CPR.3‘Person Is Unconscious & Not Breathing,’ Myteam.org, www.myteam.org/person-is-unconscious-not-breathing Those who are unconscious but breathing should be put in the recovery position.
