how to express your sympathy to a sick person

0Alice : Where have you been recently Tom? I heard you were in the hospital.02br
02br
00Tom: Yes, that's true. I have had coughs for the last week and been to the hospital for an overall check-up.02br
02br
00Alice :01font00 01b00I hope you don't have anything bad.02b02font02br
02br
00Supposedly the intended meaning with this expression 01i00(I hope you don't have anything bad02i00) is to check if there is anything wrong or serious (illness such as cancer etc) with Tom. Is the last sentence correct? How would you express the whole phrase in natural English.02br

00BTW: The whole dialogue doesn't sound natural. Does it?0-
