Always Sick or Just a Hypochondriac?

All of us get sick from time to time. However, there are some people who seem to always be sick and to have suffered from just about every symptom and illness known to mankind.  To find out if it’s real or in the head, check out our checklist of signs of a hypochondriac. 

  • The doctor’s number is saved on Whatsapp and messages go back and forth. 
  • There is a vast amount of medical knowledge memorized, despite not being form the medical profession. 
  • You take more than five nutritional supplements per day and/or you can’t leave the house without taking along one of those plastic pill dispensers with divided sections for all of your supplements. 
  • A phone call from the doctor’s office after a routine physical has you immediately listing all of the potentially fatal diseases that can be detected by a CBC. 
  • You constantly Google WebMd.com, the Mayo Clinic Symptom Checker, and wrongdiagnosis.com to check your symptoms. 
  • You frequently find yourself silently diagnosing other people’s symptoms, best courses of treatment, and probable chances of survival.
