Convincing my friend she doesn't have hypothermia?

Question

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.

Act like you belive her and tell her she needs to get to the hospital immediately or she might die.

but seriously, you really only get hypothermia if you are exposed to a cold climate for a prolonged period of time

Hello, she sounds like a Hypochondriac in the making and they can drive you crazy out of your mind, there is always some illness or health problem they seem to have and actually don't No one is ever as ill as they are and if they think they have a disease or illness, it is always the only thing they want to talk about. I have a sister like that, I run hard and fast not to talk to her after hearing 2 hours of it every day for years. I do not even talk to her anymore. Negative people are very irritating to deal with and will screw your whole day up. Maybe you can talk to her and guide her away from that by going online to prove to her she is wrong with her fake illnesses.
