Symptom #7: Coma
Coma is an unconscious state where the patient does not respond to pain, light, and sound. He or she cannot be awakened and does not have a normal sleep-wake cycle. This also means that there is complete absence of wakefulness and is unable to speak, feel, move, or hear.
Causes of coma include intoxication, central nervous system diseases, strokes, hypoxia, hypothermia, metabolic abnormalities, head trauma, eclampsia, hypoglycemia, and more. The electrolyte disturbances caused by the release of components from damaged muscle tissue can result in confusion, nausea, vomiting, arrhythmias, and coma.
