10 Hypochondriac Symptoms
Symptom #5: Worrying about Minor Symptoms
Getting aches and pains is just a part of life, especially as we get older. It is not uncommon to experience such pains in part of the body, only then for them to disappear as mysteriously as they arrived. We can also experience coughs and sneezes but these are often down to atmospheric conditions and irritants rather than an actual illness.
We wouldn’t usually worry much about minor symptoms, at least not until they get worse or linger for longer than they should. A hypochondriac, though, can find themselves getting worried even at the earliest onsets of any perceived symptom. Their concern is often that a minor symptom will be a sign of something far more serious.
