Hello Thanks for asking from HCM Worrying about health is called health anxiety. Health anxiety is one of important symptom of hypochondriasis. It can develop due to some serious chronic illness in family, which becomes triggering even for anxiety. Don t think about having serious illness again and again. Don t ignore pains or abnormalities but also in the same time don t aggravate the symptoms or don t consider them as serious signs. Multiple visits to doctors is also a part of health anxiety. Try to control the thought by own. Try relaxation exercises, yoga to decrease the distressing thoughts. Consult a Psychiatrist if the problem cause loss of social and work performance. Medicines like Fluoxetine, Sertraline etc are very useful in Hypochondriasis. Thanks
