People often mistake the flu for a bad cold, since flu symptoms mimic a cold. When you catch the flu, you might experience coughing, sneezing, runny nose, hoarse voice, and a sore throat.
But flu can progress into conditions like [pneumonia]('https://www.healthline.com/health/pneumonia'), or worsen other chronic issues like [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)]('https://www.healthline.com/health/copd') and [congestive heart failure]('https://www.healthline.com/health/congestive-heart-failure'), which can quickly become life-threatening.
Flu can directly lead to death when the virus triggers severe inflammation in the lungs. When this happens, it can cause rapid respiratory failure because your lungs can’t transport enough oxygen into the rest of your body.
The flu can also cause your brain, heart, or muscles to become inflamed. This can lead to [sepsis]('https://www.healthline.com/health/sepsis'), an emergency condition that can be fatal if not immediately treated.
If you develop a secondary infection while you have the flu, that can also cause your organs to fail. The bacteria from that infection can get into your bloodstream and cause sepsis, as well.
In adults, symptoms of life-threatening flu complications include:
