Is Loss Of Memory Normal After Waking Up Form Medically Induced Coma?

If someone wakes after being in medical induced coma for approximately three days, is it normal for her to not be able to speak, she seems angry, making loud sounds, looking past me ,and flailing arms to try to pull tubes out. Is this a sign of permanent brain damage? The patient had a heart attack in the hospital, and left unattended for an uncertain amount of time before being found in bathroom floor, among other health issues.
