Is it normal to develop medical paranoia?

Everytime I learn of a disease i start seeing symptoms of it in myself and/or people and pets around me. At least once a year Im convinced that I have cancer and almost every month Im certain that my dogs are gonna die from something obscure. Is this sort of paranoia normal?

    Sound's like you're a hypochondriac. You can't let it go to your head.
