What could cause hyper chondriac?
human
I am a 61 year old woman who has been in pretty good health other than ibs and high blood pressure which is now under control. I do have a problem with hyperchondria so I don't know if any of these are even connected. I have been having aches and pains and the other night I woke up gasping for breath which lasted for just a few seconds. This breathing has happened to me over the years but am now wondering if it could be something serious. I was at the doctor's on Thursday . He checked my liver and spleen, was fine but I did not mention this to him. I am overweight. I am 5'4" and weigh 178 lbs.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. For your information, Hypochondriasis or hypochondria (sometimes referred to as health phobia or health anxiety) refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition. An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness.In your case, hypochondriasis might be caused by excessive preoccupation about your illnesses or purely negative thinking about your health. Hypochondriasis is not a serious condition until you learn to ignore it. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
