10 Hypochondriac Symptoms
Symptom #6: Concern over Hereditary Conditions
Some illnesses are hereditary. Basically, we get them from one or more of our parents as they are passed down in our genes. This means that if your parents had certain illnesses, there’s an increased chance that you do too, or will develop them at some point later.
If a hypochondriac is aware of hereditary conditions in the family, they can become obsessively concerned by them. Even if there is only a slightly increased risk, they can still be worried as if it is almost an inevitability. Most of the time, they end up worrying about something that never happens to them.
