No I dont think you are going to die. I think you should go to the doctors though. You may have an upper resportary infection or something. This happens to me once a year around this time. When the weather starts changing everyone starts getting sick.
They will check you out at the doctors and see if it is an uri or something.

Hi
You are only 15, do you by chance smoke? When was the last time you had a physical? Do you have a family history of cancer? I really think you are afraid and need some reassurance. Can you not talk to you parents and see a physican? Just for peace of mind on you behalf?

Hi There
Have you talked to your folks about going ot see a physican? The rumbling and pain could very well be an intestinal problem. Like an ulcer or gastritis. Does your sotmach growl/rumble? Do your parents smoke in the house? I presume they have always smoked? If this be the case, you could have very well inherited asthma or something, you have been exposed to 2nd hand smoke you whole life. I do not know your situation, but I do know you have come here asking questions and looking for answers.....so I would say you need to see a physican and be checked to ensure you are ok.
