Headache1

• Heat Exhaustion (Water Depletion) - Excessive weight loss, reduced sweating, elevated skin and core body temperature, excessive thirst, weakness, headache and sometimes unconsciousness. (cfisd.net)

Induce2

• Prolonged exposure can lead to muscular twitching and unconsciousness, and even induce a coma. (yummymummyclub.ca)
• To induce a temporary coma, a doctor administers anesthetic drugs and puts you in a controlled, closely monitored state of unconsciousness. (healthline.com)

Diabetic coma8

• A diabetic coma is a life-threatening disorder that causes unconsciousness. (mayoclinic.org)

Consciousness3

• During the remainder of the class this idea so excited me that I ignored the rest of my lecture and began to talk about consciousness and unconsciousness. (nacd.org)

Person2

• Unconsciousness is when a person is unable to respond to people and activities. (medlineplus.gov)
