Flu Anxiety Update

(Read last post for some background) I am panicking like crazy right now! Firstly, as I'm writing this post- my most worrisome issue is that my eyes keep going out of focus. I'm trying to type this and my eyes keep unfocusing and going blurry. I have also been very dizzy all day to the point of losing my balance. It is -30 degrees celcius outside and I was out earlier. Now that I'm home, my feet are like icicles and wont warm up. I have two pairs of socks on and they're still ice cold. I also feel depersonalized and as if I'm in a dream/foggy. My head feels really weird. I'm afraid that I am having a stroke and/or dying. I am 19 years old with no health conditions other than occasional migraines. I have a cold or flu right now and am extremely congested. Yesterday was just my throat, but today my nose is very congested. I feel like I can't breathe. I'm so scared.
