Eli5 how being in a coma works

642 views

What puts your body into a coma, why can’t you wake up on command, what determines when you wake up, what is it like being in a coma, are you aware of your surroundings, how is it that your body is still regulating like normal, etc. This is all so mind-boggling.

I’m here for this. If you were in a coma 500 years ago, would you just die? Can you make a comatose person eat and drink? Is “being in a coma” a relatively new thing, would you just be buried alive 500 years ago?
