Explanation

A hypochondriac is someone who has an excessive preoccupation with serious illness and constantly imagines they are sick despite having little or no medical evidence. This condition involves persistent health-related anxiety where normal bodily sensations are interpreted as signs of serious disease. The other options are unrelated - hypertension refers to high blood pressure, liquid diet is a dietary restriction, and being 'afraid of one's shadow' refers to cowardice.
