Is it normal?

Hi my name's andy im 20 years old male and ive been working out and staying fit since i entered middle school. Recently i just got a cold/flu and i decided to do cardio for about 10 minutes or so, which ive never done before. So when i did i started sweating A LOT and a couple minutes later i started to feel really sleepy and tired and lightheaded.. is that normal when your sick and you do cardio??

Yes, you probably had a fever and weak from the cold/flu. All the lightheaded and dizziness was just from working out while being sick.

common cold and Flu are caused by virus which may cause fever, malaise and weakness.
Take proper rest, eat healthy and continue work outs after couple of days. Take care!
