1:19 pm
a lot of this is because this is a very long duration event t dew point or the amount of moisture that's in the air is extremely high which brings that heat index up a little bit higher and we have had more than 30 heat related deaths across the u.s. and i promise you that number is going to continue to go up. so take it easy, a lot of times you don't detect some of those signs if you start to feel a little dehydrated or start to feel sick in the heat. drink more water than you normally would, don't wait until you're thirsty. somebody told me you take your body weight and you divide it by half and that's the number of ounces of water you should drink in a day. that's a lot. >> that's a huge amount. >> yes, it's a huge amount, but it's needed in times of heat like now. caffeine tends to dehydrate you. take cool showers and baths and avoid the direct sunlight.

healthy. dr. bill lloyd joins us from chicago. tell us more about this cyber chondria? >> it's an enormous problem because people are focussed on chronic illnesses that really are unpleasant. it's a new twist because back in the day people would just keep a readers digest around the house or a medical book and when they thought they had symptoms they would check on it and they would think that it's a big problem. now with the internet, you can get online and find out about all kinds of diseases, if you go to a medical website that as a symptom checker, you call talk yourself into all kinds of problems. when your doctor says you may have this and then someone goes to the web or people are replacing their doctors with the web? >> i think most of it has beens before they see their doctor, and that's the problem, they're trying to diagnose themselves.
1:42 pm
so any time anybody has a problem, whether it's a new diagnosis or a new simple on the. a couple of things you need to know while roaming around the world wide web. stay close to home. ask your doctor, do you have your own website? or maybe your local hospital has their own website. trust your own academic institutions like the mayor clinic. other trusted content providers and you'll get the bottom of their home page, you can see where this information came from and fredericka, remember, if you ever see anything that looks like advertising within the text of a web page for medical information, click away because they have no information for you except a purchase in your future. >> are there some people who are more prone to becoming these kind of cyberchondriacs? >> they have done a lot of research about this and it's a behavioral problem, people who
1:43 pm
have had trauma early in their life, children who were abused or unloved or children who were spoiled or unloved, these are people that can be more prone to being worried about health conditions that really just don't exist. >> are you telling people to log off or just kind a more responsible way to manage your questions and not going too far? >> yeah, i think what's important here is, this kind of hypochondriasi sirks needs to be managed, when the doctor says it's nothing don't worry about it. the first thing a hypocondrey yack is going to do is worry more about it and go to the web. you teach individuals that are worried about their health, occasional modification therapy, you get them to understand the triggers that get them to worry
1:44 pm
about, and by using behavioral management therapy, you can help your patients cope with their behavior rather than trying to cure them of it. you simply want to get to them through education. >> is there anything medical doctors can do to help their patients not become this? >> you bet there is. because hypocondrey yacks come and go out overdoctors offices all the time. they don't think about the diagnosis, they don't think about this is a patient that needs help. so, yes, doctors need to ask questions and when they are presented with a patient, even though it's a brief visit with unusual complaints or consistent complaints and they don't find anything on the tests or the ex-rays or the lab tests, you stop the process right there, and say, are you a little bit worried about this? maybe we should talk about what your concerns are and identify
