Hypochondriac

Someone who is really quite well, but with any sniffle or funny spot, they think they are dying of cancer/bird flu/aids. Or any other disease/s.
A good example is the guy in the movie Bandits. He listens to tapes of the definitions of illnesses to calm himself down.
"Omg, look at this freckle! Its kinda big, eh? Do you think its skin cancer?"

"Its dirt, dude. You're sucha hypochondriac!"

hypostyle

In architecture, a hypostyle hall has a flat ceiling which is supported by columns, as in the Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak. In this case the columns flanking the central avenue are of greater height than those of the side aisles, and this admits of openings in the wall above the smaller columns, through which light is admitted over the aisle roof, through clerestory windows.
