Anyone else a big hypochondriac?

Only health issue I’m anxious about is my smoking. Other than that I don’t worry. If I can successfully quit that will be a huge monkey off my back.

My granddad was a hypochondriac. He wasn’t sz, but he did struggle with Parkinson’s later in life.

I’ll take option B. Given that the layperson has no official diagnostic powers we are condemned to be hypochondriacs until a medical professional deems that we are in fact ill but not hypochondriacs. This second option B covers this dilemma in that a hypochondriac (someone now defined as having no diagnostic powers) who thinks they are a hypochondriac is more sane than that same person who says that they are not a hypochondriac and certain of their illness. This is from the perspective of medical authority, which I am not, but hypothetical ones.
