Anxiety and paranoia over health

Hey guys. I have a history of stomach problems which has taken a serious toll on me mentally. I did some tests and thankfully nothing life threatening was found. I was put on medication which has helped, though I still get flare ups from time to time. The problem is that I've developed anxiety and paranoia about my health. For example, someone visited my house who had a virus and now I'm terrified that I might catch it. Don't know if it's contagious or not. I'm in bed and just started to get flu like symptoms. Hoping it's just a minor cold and not a virus. I'm so fed up of being sick. Any advice?
