Hyperhydrosis Hyperidrosis, polyidrosis.excessive or profuce sweating.Hyperhydrosis is a medical condition that causes perspiration far greater than the physiological needs of the body. Although no one knows why some individuals sweat excessively, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. Excessive sweating may be episodic or continuous. Hyperhidrosis can occur suddenly or continuously, in the four major areas: hands (palmer hyperhidrosis), armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis), feet (plantar hyperhidrosis), and face (facial hyperhidrosis). When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it's called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In the majority of primary hyperhidrosis cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body, or it may be localized to one area. Conditions that cause second hyperhidrosis include acromegaly hyperthyroidism, glucose control disorders, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome ,cancer, tuberculosis or other infections , menopause ,spinal cord injury ,stroke Parkinson’s disease, heart or lung disease, certain medications and substances of abuse ,anxiety conditions Hypermetropia Condgenital or hereditary malformation of the eyeball, which is smaller.its anterio posterior diameter, is shorter than that of a normal eye.

Hypochondriasis A morbid concern about the health and exaggerated attention to any unsual bodily or mental sensations;an unfounded belief that one is suffering from some disease.Hypochondria (or hypochondriasis, sometimes referred to as health anxiety or health phobia) is a somatoform disorder in which one has the unfounded belief that he or she is suffering from a serious illness. Hypochondria is often characterized by irrational fears of being diseased/dying, obsessions over minor bodily symptoms or imperfections, doubt and disbelief in doctors' diagnosis, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis and preoccupation with one's body. Hypochondriacs often require constant reassurance, sometimes from multiple doctors, family and friends. Hypochondria is often associated withobsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety, and can also be brought on by stress. The term hypochondria comes from the Greek hypo- (below) and chondros (cartilage - of the breast bone). Because the imaginary disease is often reffered to the stomach regionThe term was originally used to describe unidentifiable stomach pains. It was thought by ancient Greek physicians that such pains were caused by the movement of the spleen, an organ located near the hypochondrium (the upper region of the abdomen just below the ribs on either side of the epigastrium).During the 19th century the term evolved to be the male counterpart to hysteria.
