Why do colds feel like your dying?

I don't know, but I hope you're feeling better soon.

hi Theriverdreams
You are. Dying. However you will not die. Not from a cold. However it feels like you are because you are on the road to death. More people were killed by flu following WW1 than in the war. Most of them were young and healthy. The reason for that is their immunes systems were most active and it was that which killed them. Same with you being young and what your are experiencing is your own immune response to a viral infection. Rest and consume lemons.
Best wishes

Don't know.

But I do hope you feel better.
