I don't think it's approperiate to call people a hypochondriac... Simply because they have panic/Anxiety attacks. I get called that all the time... I get so sick of tired of people calling me that i simply tell people now:

"hypochondriac, eh? travel inside my body and when ya come out... tell me how you feel?!"

I stay away from people who calls me a hypochondriac... their not worth my time simply because they have no desires to help me.
