I presume you mean by "paranoia" an irrational fear of having a disease. Paranoia, the mental disorder, is not Hypochondria. To find out more about hypochondria simply type in "hypochondriac" or "hypochondria" into Yahoo! search and a number of links comes up. Wikipedia has a good summary.
Also try, www.thehypochondriac.com for an online chat room and help forum. Symptoms of the disorder can be found by typing "hypochondria symptoms" into Yahoo! search.
I have heard that every medical student, as he/she studies the various diseases and disorders, finds him/her self coming down with the disorders they are learning about so your General Practitioner MD should be able to give you a lot of help overcoming the disorder.
Good luck, good health, peace and love!

I am the same way. When I have a headache I think I am going to go blind or pass out or I have a tumor. I guess it is a little paronoia and my husband always says I am a hypocondriac
