How did playing in his own play Le Malade Imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid/ The Hypochondriac ) probably shorten Moliere's life?

I know Moliere collapsed and died during a performance of The Hypochondriac, so I am guessing that it was the strain of acting such a part whilst in ill health that shortened his life.

What occurred on the 17th of February we translate from the Registre of La Grange: “This same day, about ten o’clock at night, after the comedy, Monsieur de Moliere died in his house, Rue de Richelieu. He had played the part of the said Malade, suffering much from cold and inflammation, which caused a violent cough. In the violence of the cough he burst a vessel in his body, and did not live more than half an hour or three-quarters after the bursting of the vessel".
