Worried about Heart Failure ( Health anxiety )

I'm pregnant, 21 weeks and I suffer with health anxiety... ever since I had a really rough touch and go pregnancy with my first born. I never experienced anxiety before that.

Fast forward 4 years and after treatments, I am starting to feel anxious again due to fainting multiple times in pregnancy, I don't want to fall into the anxiety hole again

But I'm literally so worried about heart failure due to fainting twice in 2 weeks... they did a quick ECG and bloods in a&e and said everything seemed normal, probably just a unknown drop in blood pressure

But it doesn't make me feel confident and I just worry there is something underlying

Something would have shown up on bloods and/or ecg if there was an issue. If the results in A&E hasn’t reassured you, I’m not sure anyone here will be able to.
Please speak to your GP and midwife asap, hopefully you will be able to get some support to stop you feeling such anxiety. Anxiety is so awful, I hope things improve for you.

When pg I used to faint or almost faint in Sainsburys. Something about the artificial light, too warm, standing still in the Q... my heart is fine. Just a pregnancy-induced vulnerability.
