What are some suggested nicknames for someone who is sick a lot?

You can call them "Sickly" or "Sicky". You can also make a play on words, like Sick Sam, Unhealthy Ursula, or Fell Better Fred!

Hypochondria or health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder, is worrying excessively that you are or may become seriously ill. You may have no physical symptoms. Or you may believe that normal body sensations or minor symptoms are signs of severe illness, even though a thorough medical exam doesn't reveal a serious medical condition.

If you have a medical condition or you're at high risk of developing one, you become consumed with worry. You may experience excessive anxiety that a body sensation associated with a known illness signals a much greater threat than actually exists. This excessive anxiety — rather than the physical symptom itself — results in severe distress that can be disabling.

Illness anxiety disorder is a long-term condition that can fluctuate in severity. It may increase with age or during times of stress. But psychological counseling (psychotherapy) and sometimes medication can help ease your worries.
