What happens when your brain doesn't get enough oxygen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain injury: If the brain does not get enough oxygen, a lot of problems can occur, such as dizziness, memory loss, seizures, and unconsciousness. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for a prolonged period of time, permanent damage can occur and is called anoxic (or hypoxic) brain injury. Someone with this condition is usually very sick and may be in a coma.
