How Long Will The Symptoms Like Lightheadedess, Dizziness, Nausea, Weakness Last After Being In Medically Induced Coma?
I was in a medically induced coma for 10 days due to sepsis this past October. I spent 6 weeks in the hospital on IV antibiotics and came home early December, I am still having trouble walking due to being light headed, dizzy and nauseous. I am still very weak and my short term memory is horrible! How long will this go on?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that this is not the coma but this is called general anesthesia and the effects of this eliminate very soon say within a day, if you do have some symptoms then this might not be due to anesthesia, but may due to functional elements, take care and have a nice day.
