To me it sounds more like hypochondria than OCD

Saying that, no matter what it is, glad you seem to getting on top of it.

There's significant overlap between the two; OCD generally manifests as intrusive unpleasant thoughts usually with a theme, in the case of myself illness and death. As such, hypochondria is a symptom of the OCD in the same way that a fever might be a symptom of influenza.
