What do you recommend that I should do to find out? I have predisposition to paranoia, so there's the possibility of misdiagnosis.

I don't know. Don't think paranoia enough would merit a diagnosis. Perhaps try to work out where the paranoia comes from in you, and see if that leads you in the right direction, and then look at the other areas of your life and try and work it from there.

I think I know what you mean; sort of paranoid/hypochondriac? Have you taken any of the online self-diagnostics? There are a couple that can be real helpful - here's one:

If all else fails, allow yourself a 'time-out' as to whether you are or not. Feel free to take your time, and to wait if you aren't sure if you want to seek a formal diagnosis.

Let us know how you're doing, okay?
