Symptom #10: Coma
A coma refers to the state of unconsciousness where an individual cannot be awakened and is unable to respond to light, sound, pain, or initiate voluntary actions. There is absence of wakefulness and the affected individual is unable to hear, move, feel, or speak. Patients in this state generally score between 3 to 8 on the Glasgow Coma Scale.
Some experts believe that a coma is one of the body’s natural ways to temporarily pause bodily actions to promote the healing process. A coma can occur as a result of various conditions such as intoxication, stroke, hypoglycemia, hypoxia, hypothermia, traumatic head injuries, and more.
