I've been researching, and I can NOT find a name for any disorder or syndrome similar to Munchausen syndrome, hpochondriasis, and somatization disorder in which I WANT some mental illness to be wrong with me, but there are no physical symptoms pain that result.

Do I have some sort of hypochondriasis, or am i just ridiculous?
I have a friend who i beleive is a hypochondriac, but i'm nothing like her in the sence that i'm talking of now I want to be sick for two reasons i beleive. One, if i'm sick, that's one less person who has to suffer like if i'm sick, that means i took the sickness from someone else..meaning i'm taking the suffering from someone else, type thing lol , and two, attention. like i 'm not one of those people who will do anything for attention. I'm actually one of those people in the shadows. But hey, everybody needs some attention i overreact over symptoms, but i keep it to myself, and strictly to myself. I thought i have Hypertension because i have high blood pressure, i'm dizzy, have cold feet all the time, and have many of the other symptoms but i don't really like going to the doctors. I don't go to the often. I have a podiatrist for my warts, a dentist, a periodontist for mouth issues P , a dentist and a family doctor. When i have a mysterious symptom, i don't automatically react to it, and go to emerge and stuff, like i've had like six fevers in the past 3 months, with no infections or anything, and not making a big deal about it. I also always think things are wrong with me, but i don't necisarrily want to be sick, because it takes away so many opportunities, but then i look at kids with cancer and stuff and wish i would have what they have so that they can live their lives without pain and stuff. So..like what's going on?

How do i stop my health anxiety/hypochondriasis from really getting me down?
I have struggled with this on and off for years but just lately it has got really bad and it's making my life full of anxiety and despair because i become convinced i have something fatal and i feel sick to the stomach.I do constant checks on my self and i am either convinced my eyes are yellow or i'm short of breath or believe my skin or veins look different or my muscles are wasting the lists are endless.Do you think i'm seeing all these different things because i am looking at myself too much and over analyzing everything so i end up imagining so many things wrong or what?

How do you deal with your health phobia (hypochondriasis)?
i'm a hypochondriac, which means i'm very paranoid about my health. i keep thinking i have some disease and i examine every little thing going on all over my body ex.minor pains .my problem is no matter how many times i tell myself i'm not really sick, i keep getting reminded of diseases and that makes me all paranoid about it. like when i see a commercial about cancer or hear about stories on diseases it takes over my mind.for anyone who has experienced these feelings before, or is a health expert who knows how to deal with this problem, i would very much appreciate your help. thank you
How can I get over health anxiety/hypochondriasis?
I literally google the most dire things all day, mainly cancer and convince myself I have them. every little ache and pain. In 2009 I went to the doctor 4 times for various things ER 3 and was send for blood and sonograms. All normal. I still convince myself I am dying. Am scared to go to doctor but finally made a physical appointment this month, Anyone have similar actions. If so how did you get over it?
How can I control my hypochondriasis?
I've been a hypochondriac for a couple years now. Every time I get hurt or sick, my mind just automatically thinks i'm going to die or it's a serious disease or something. It came about when i was diagnosed with mild asthma and severe allergies. I've learned somewhat how to control it, but it still bothers me. My friends all notice when I get hurt or sick, I get very tense and worried. I've actually gotten to the point where i'Il have panic attacks when I don't control it well enough. I don't want to go to a mental health professional quite yet. I don't think it's at that sort of level. Any helpful advice would be great.
Hypochondriasis! Help?
I've had hypochondriasis since 2005. I've been on medication twice. I stopped my second medication two years ago and everything went well until now. I don't know, what I'm experiencing right now is not the same as I've felt before. Before, I was very paranoid about almost anything cancer, AIDS, etc., and I keep on going to the doctor. Now, I'm having the same fear, but to a lesser degree. Sometimes, I just get scared when I wake up and feel pain anywhere in my body. I also have this kind of a tension headache EVERYDAY due to stress and allergic rhinitis. BUT, I don't go to the doctor. I do my everyday routine, but the fear is still there. Sometimes, I think I will develop schizophrenia in the future when I will lose a loved one, something like that. Do you think this is normal and is experienced by most people? Or will it get worse?
