How come when someone is watching a Program about disease, a person can sometimes feel symptoms?

Why is it that when a person is watching a program about disease or similar things, they can sometimes start to feel the symptoms of the disease which is being described?

I was watching something about parasites and two common symptoms which popped up was headaches, and itching. Then a short time after I felt itchy and had a slight headache, but I doubt I have a parasite.
Just wandering why this happens? it seems to happen to a lot, my friends say they feel the same sometimes when watching those programs.

Hypocondria…..You always feel what isn't really there. Stop watching those programs and you will realize how good you feel.

Its just the human mind acting paranoid.

the power of suggestion your brain sees whats going on and it reacts to what your feeling
