Are you a hypochondriac?

Are you a hypochondriac?
I know that sounds like a really random thing to ask, but yeah. i'm wondering.
I know myself that I'm a hypochondriac. I once thought a sore stomach was a stomach rupture.
So are you a hypochondriac, or have you displayed thoughts like it?

(In case anyone is wondering, a hypochondriac is someone who thinks they are very ill, when they are very marginally ill.)

There is an inverse correlation between medical knowledge and hypochondriac tendencies.

The more I learn about medical issues, the less concerned I am with any symptoms or signs I perceive, and the more accurately I can diagnose what's actually wrong with me.

Not really.

I don't tend to get ill very often, so if anything I am more likely to dismiss any problems I have as being real ones. Which is probably a more dangerous attitude to take really.

Almost certainly not. In fact, I have a tendency to try to fight my way through any real ailments that I have - such that I have gone into work several times when I'm vomiting, did an entire chemistry lab session while hallucinating and almost fainted in a computer programming lecture when the cold that I had decided to start messing rather more deeply with my system than I could have anticipated.

This . If anything i'm the opposite of a hypochondriac . I could have the worst thing in the world , and i would just shrug it off in hopes it get's better . Actually , i'm pretty sure i'm dying ( i spit blood every morning ) but don't care enough to worry or go see a doctor . I'll fight death to the death .
