Hypochondriacs are those who go to the doctor for every ailment. There is nothing wrong in having doctor visits, but only if it is something that is making your body fell ill,  and when nothing heals or if there is no end to an illness.

It refers to an obsession of the idea of being or having a serious but undiagnosed medical condition. It usually occurs during adulthood. It is characterized by having intense fear, worrying about minor symptoms. 

It requires medical diagnosis, can be chronic and one can live with it for a lifetime. 

Sometimes it's referred to as health anxiety.

Hypochondriacs are people who are health-conscious. I personally think that it is normal to feel this way but not overrated, which others do.

The true meaning of hypochondriacs is people who are excessively worried about their health. They may have a general fear of illness or may have a specific fear of a particular illness.

Hypochondriacs are those who worry excessively about their health, to the point of exaggeration. They may worry excessively about illnesses and diseases and become preoccupied with their symptoms, seeking medical help and advice even when none is needed.

Hypochondriasis, also known as health anxiety or illness anxiety disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry or fear about having a serious illness, despite little or no evidence of actual illness.

People with hypochondriasis often become preoccupied with physical symptoms and bodily sensations, and frequently seek reassurance from medical professionals, family, and friends. They may also spend significant amounts of time researching medical conditions and treatments, and may avoid activities or situations that they believe could put their health at risk.

It's important to note that hypochondriasis is a real and distressing condition, and not simply a personality quirk or attention-seeking behavior. People with hypochondriasis often experience significant impairment in their daily lives, including social and occupational functioning, and may benefit from treatment such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and/or medication.

a person who is often or always worried about his or her own health : a person affected by hypochondria or hypochondriasis. Hypochondriacs experience extreme anxiety from the bodily responses most people take for granted. For example, they may be convinced that something as simple as a sneeze is the sign they have a horrible disease.
