Chronic illnesses can affect the immune system due to the strain they put on the body, which is usually why it takes longer for individuals with chronic conditions to recover from typical illnesses like colds. Some people also report that they tend to get secondary infections after a cold, such as bronchitis or sinusitis. Additionally, some individuals feel more frustrated and sensory overloaded when they have a cold, experiencing heightened sensations of tiredness, stuffy nose, sore throat, and headaches. This often leads to them treating themselves as if they are more ill than just having a "cold", requiring extra self-care and rest.
