A member asked:
Is it possible to fall into coma from a concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A concussion is a brief loss of consciousness or an alteration of consciousness but is brief lasting seconds to minutes. Coma would result from a much more serious head injury or a metabolic disorder.
