Did my dad hear me talking to him while/after having a seizure and being in a coma?
My dad passed away a few days ago.
I think he was having partial seizures because he was falling in and out of sleep after he returned from his first trip to the hospital after a heart attack. We thought he was just really tired and didn't do anything, which makes me feel guilty.
Finally on Sunday he was spasming as well so we called 911... no tests could discover what was wrong, and doctors were even debating whether or not it was seizures... but eventually he did have a full blown seizure...very violent.
Could he hear me tell him I loved him? Are seizures painful?
After his seizure he went into a coma...
Could he hear me then?
He had suffered a stroke in 2006 as well that left his left side paralyzed, and wheelchair bound...
They don't know what caused the seizures..
Going to have an autopsy done...
Out of personal experiences if you've been through seizures (partial or full-on) and/or even a coma........... are you 'aware.'
Or whats your opinion.

Depending on whether or not it was a deep coma, he probably did. It is possible for a person in a coma to react to outer stimuli. His brain still functioned while in a coma. You're aware through seizures too. My ex boyfriend had them and he told me he was well aware of everything. :) He heard you, I'm sure of it.

I was in a coma--I didn't hear anything. My coma was caused by physical trauma and really wreaked havoc on my short term memory. There's a good chance that the reason that I don't remember is that physical trauma, which caused my coma, wreaked havoc on my short-term memory, so I just don't remember. Your father didn't have significant physical trauma, so I don't think that he would have this issue.
Seizures aren't as painful as the day after; every muscle in your body feels like you have been forced to lift weights, at gunpoint for the last 20 hours.
