Overview

Common causes of myxedema coma include sepsis, exposure to cold weather, central nervous system depressants (sedatives, narcotics, antidepressants), trauma, surgery, stroke, congestive heart failure, burns, intravascular volume contraction (GI bleeding, diuretic use), myocardial infarction, and metabolic disorders.

Myxedema coma causes

Myxedema coma may be caused when the thyroid is severely compensated and is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone. It is a rare condition that is not happening frequently.
