echondriac 

A person who claims to have every medical symptom or condition they ever discover on the internet.
Same as a hypochondriac, but gets it from reading websites, blogs, social media sites.
Her: OMG! I'm always tired and my crotch itches...this blog says that means I have diabetes!
No, wait. This next blog says it means lupus. I bet I have both!
Him: You are such an echondriac.... the doctor just said you are in perfect health.

Ecochondriac 

A person that views every blip in the weather, every heat wave, every rain-storm, hurricane, blizzard or lack there of as a sign from the evironment as proof of global warming. Much like a person that gets regular aches and pains in their body and then assumes they have cancer, heart-disease, rabies, scabies, bird flu, and the like...
Person 1: This August heat wave is so hot, it must be global warming!

Person 2: When I was a kid we just called it "summer" you ecochondriac!

chondriac 

1. The term "chondria" is Greek and means "cartilage" or "breast bone."

- However, the term "hypochondriac" has a completely different meaning.

2. Hypochondriac: A person who is abnormally anxious about their health to the point where they suspect they have a serious condition based on a few minor symptoms.
Guy: Hey man, you don’t look so good, y’alright?

Hypochondriac: Nah not really, I’ve got a migraine, I swear I’ve got a brain tumour or something.

Guy: Ouch, I’m sure it’s just a plain ol’ migraine…

Google-chondriac 

much like hypochondriacs, these people google everything seemingly wrong with them. ie: disease.. etc.
You: Hey what's this red spot on your back?
Them: *checks* OMFG YOU'RE RIGHT! I'M DYING. I HAVE AIDS. AH. *googles: what's it mean to have a random red blotch on the back of your neck?*
You: Dude, you're such a google-chondriac

Wiki-chondriac 

A person who constantly Googles or uses Wikipedia (or other internet resources) to self diagnose their illness based on symptoms they've been experiencing.
Kaley is a Wiki-chondriac. She wakes up with a slight headache after a night of drinking. She immediately sources Wikipedia where she finds that there are several common causes including:
"tension, migraines, eye strain, dehydration, low blood sugar, hyper mastication and sinusitis." She also finds that there are life-threatening conditions such as "meningitis, encephalitis, cerebral aneurysms, extremely high blood pressure, and brain tumors" associated with headaches. She quickly jumps to the conclusion that she's dying of a brain tumor and needs medical assistance rather than a Tylenol and some water for what is a really a bad hangover.

hippie-chondriac 

a hippie that is also a hypochondriac; a hippie that is totally convinced that modern conveniences makes them ill; some, however, still want free universal (and modern) health-care making them hypocrita-chondriacs
He thinks WiFi makes him ill. He is such a hippie-chondriac.
