Cardiac worries.

I've had some cardiac worries for sometime.now die to random pains on and off, palpitations and such. For about two years now. I've had loads of bloods and ECG. I had a 24hr heart monitor but they found no hung of significance, just ectopic beats which they say are normal and benign. I've got myself in a right state thinking I've got a heart issue and I'm going to o have a heart attack or arrest or a stroke. Worried I've got a blockage or plaque. I'm really struggling to trust something is not wrong. I do have high cholesterol, it was 6.2, I'm overweight. (Though I'm trying to lose) I've lost 2 stones since January. I'm terrified something is wrong. I also do vape (ex smoker) so I'm aware I have risk factors however I'm only 32.. I also have bad health anxiety so I'm aware I'm probably making it worse than it is. But im sure that something is wrong. I'm spending my days worrying about but the GP and cardiology won't do any more tests because they say they aren't necessary. I can afford to go private. I'm so worried and don't know what to do now.

I feel like I am asking everyone this on here atm because I have been diagnosed but did you get your thyroid checked in your bloods? I had a pulmonary embolism, no one knew why but because I had no other risk factors they only put me on thinners for 3 months. I felt terrible when I came off so demanded more bloods (took ages) and it turns out I've got hyperthyroidism and a B12 deficiency. The thyroid is literally giving me anxiety and pumping my heart about like crazy with palpitations and can cause PE. So it seems to me I've had this for a while. I've had a rash since my mid 20's too which could well be linked. The B12 also causes irregular heartbeat and depression and tiredness, so I am all over the place to be honest. Should be starting treatment soon but thought I'd share 2 things that can cause anxiety and palpitations/heart irregularities.

I had my thyroid checked in January and I had it checked last year and it came back normal. I'm not b12 deficient either. I've had these symptoms for around 2 years now.
