No. A "head cold" is what some people call the "common cold" when it is presenting with mostly sinus and upper respiratory symptoms instead of with cough and more lung symptoms. Emphysema is a chronic obstructive lung disease also called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) that is caused by smoke inhalation, cigarette smoking, pollution, and other damage to the lung tissue.
