Those affected spend a lot of time worrying that they are ill, sometimes to the point where it takes over their life.Symptoms of the condition may include worrying and checking your body for signs of illness, such as lumps, tingling, or pain.People with health anxiety may always seek reassurance from others that they are not sick or convince themselves that a doctor or test may have missed something.
