I am worried that I am getting a cold. I had contact with someone two days ago who had it and I think I am showing symptoms.
Oh no!  I hope you loaded up on zinc, vitamin C, and anything else that might help!
Definitely! The sneezing, coughing and headache are particularly annoying.
Well I'll say a prayer to the sweet baby Jesus, that he heals you.
i appreciate it, definitely don't want it to turn into pneumonia, even though I don't have other health problems
Do other health problems typically help make colds turn into pneumonia?
Yes, the risk factors are usually other lung diseases, diabetes, heart failure, among others.
Oh boy.  I would think heart failure wouldn't be a risk factor, but a death factor?
You would be surprised, people can live in heart failure for 15+ years, all it means is the heart can't maintain the blood flow to meet all of the bodies needs.
