Honestly, Google is not your friend when it comes to researching symptoms, so that's the first thing you need to ditch. Google literally told me I was in liver failure when I tried to research why I get headaches after a single alcoholic drink. That was close to 5 years ago now and I'm sure I wouldn't still be here if that were accurate, lol. Google is known to often give worst case scenario types of results and is not often very accurate, especially if you're the easily worried type who might panic about the seriousness of your symptoms.
Otherwise, I'm really not sure how to overcome being a hypochondriac, but ditching Google as a source to research your symptoms is a good starting point. I also wouldn't take any online tests too seriously, either. There is a lot of misinformation out there on the Internet.
