Can prolonged stress causes coma?
human
My nephew collapsed- both his breathing & heart stopped. CPR revived his heart befor the ambulance came but he is still in a coma (drug induced) and not breathing on his own. In what time frame does the brain damage occur after the heart stops beating? Closest guess is it took 5 - 10 min....Also can sudden cardiac arrest be caused by long term stress?

you are correct it takes approx 5 minutes for the brain death due to reduced blood supply that causes asphyxial brain injury.. cardiac arrest could be due to high cholestrol levels or hypertension or any structural defect of the heart.it will take some time to get overcome from coma.so take care of him.hope my answer helped you. plz rate the answer.
