How to convince my friend she doesn't have hypothermia?

One of my friends at school is lately convinced she has hypothermia. She is known to be a drama queen, and this is starting to really get on my nerves. She kept complaining that her hands were cold when she was outside, then warm when she was inside, which I said was perfectly normal. I told her that if she had hypothermia then she would be shaking, sweating and seriously faint/dizzy. Then she told me that she was all those things, but it's obvious she is fine and just wants attention. This is really annoying me, I'm not falling out with her over this simple matter, but how can I convince her that she doesn't have hypothermia, as her going on about it is annoying me and other people.

    Hypothermia can and will kill, it she truly thinks this she needs to go to the emergency room immediately. If she doesn't, she faking and needs to grow up. The cold causes hypothermia not being cold causes it.

    i have known similar people in the past, what i did was i gave them the attention they wanted like are you ok do you want to go see a doctor or something and ask some others to do similar things. i bet is you ask the doctor question she steps back and says she is fine and it's nothing just give her some attention and ask others to do the same but after a while tell her that she as had this "hypothermia" for a while and tell her that this is getting risky that she could die that and the doctor comment will snap her out of it for sure but make sure you act conserned!

    Well, you can tell her hypothermia is actually deadly so if she lives long enough to ***** about it she just has bad peripheral circulation or she is a drama queen.

    If she mentions the word hypothermia again after that simply say : "**** your hypothermia". That's ought to shut her up.

    If she'd had hypothermia for more than a day she'd be dead
