Overtired?... Scared!! Help

I;m feeling anxious and scared right now. I feel like I'm going to start panicking!
I had a cold for 3 days now and the second night I was up all night due to a stuffy nose, aching body, sore throat and so on. I did fall asleep at 7:30 am and woke up at 11 am and haven't slept yet and it's 1 am.

I feel dizzy and kind of shaky and my vision feels weird.. could this be because of the cold I have and the lack of sleep?

Every time I try sleep I feel like I'm dying and it's scary! I'm tired but I just cant fall asleep.
Why is it so hard to sleep when you're overtired?

I'm dizzy typing this... ugh! Should I just try sleep? Even thought I'm scared and feel like I'm dying?

Please help... thanks

I called a nurse just to make sure and she said "yes" talking to her calmed me down and I was able to sleep.

Hope you're ok
