How can a hypochondriac tell whats actually a concern. sometimes i have worries about health but cant tell if i am overreacting.

Supporting evidence: For many medical problems, supporting evidence is helpful to identify if you have the problem. On the other hand, if you realize that you tend to "over-react" that too is treatable with therapy or, if necessary, relatively safe medication.
