/ËhaɪpÉËkÉndriËæk - [hahy-puh-kon-dree-ak]
-a person suffering from or subject to hypochondria.
-a person who worries or talks excessively about his or her health.
-a person who constantly believes he or she is ill or about to become ill
And if you mean constantly talking about food, that may be a sign of an eating disorder such as anorexia (starving) or bulimia (binging/purging).
