Hey, Health Class Student! Glad you turned to for help!

Hypochondriasis, or health anxiety, is the obsession with the idea of having an undiagnosed serious disease, illness, or condition. It typically develops during adulthood, and symptoms of this includes a long-term and intense fear of having a serious condition and worry that minor symptoms indicate something serious. It is a mental health disorder. So, going back to your question, Cynthia may be suffering from Hypochondriasis.

Hope this helped you out!
