Not hyperchrondrasis: Fear of going to the doctor is not hyperchrondrasis. Best way to get her to see a doctor , is to tell her you love her and she needs to stay healthy for you. Never under estimate the power of a mothers love of her child.

Hypochondria?: If she thinks she has many disorders that she might not truly have, it may be hypochondria. An adult child can find mom a good primary care doctor to check on all those symptoms she thinks she has, so that possible disorders are ruled out (that may mean driving mom to doctor appointments). Be sure she has ppo insurance or better, so that her doctor(s) has the resources to see her multiple times.
