Could you help me?

1. I know that I can say "I am dying of hunger." when I feel very hungry. However, I wonder how I can express the situation that I am really dying because of hunger. Is it same with it or can I judge it only case by case?

2. How about "I am dying of/from hunger."? Does it have the same meaning with "I am dying of hunger."?

Thank you.

It's the same, and you'll have to judge it case by case. By the way, how many people do you expect to meet who might be dying of hunger? I hope you won't have to make this judgment very often.

Anyway, i
