MA - extra health checks

Hi all, I found out last week that I am pregnant and I don't think it has fully sunk in yet. I don't feel pregnant, but I do feel sick with anxiety! My partner and I have a 19 & 20yr old and agree that we do not want to continue the pregnancy.
I had a call with MSI and they've booked me a call with a nurse for next Saturday. Due to some cardiac health issues that I have, they need to complete additional health checks, has anyone else had this and been allowed to take the tablets?
I'm so paranoid that I'm more weeks that my LMP suggests, did anyone else have this? I'm also scared the pills won't work completely and ll need to travel for surgery.
I feel so stupid and irresponsible ☹️

At the time I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant id been experiencing frequent palpitations and was taking propranolol. Because of this I was advised to have a surgical termination rather than a medical. The clinic did an ECG a few days before the procedure. It did drag the whole journey out, id rang at around 6.5 weeks and eventually had the surgery at 9w4d. Its made it all the more difficult to come to terms with for me, the waiting was horrendous.

Thank you so much for coming back to me! I am also on propanalol and some other meds, I was admitted for cardiac monitoring a few months back so I think your post confirms that I will have to go the surgical route.
The anxiety is unreal, I can't tell what is in my head and what is pregnancy symptoms!
I really do appreciate your comment though as at least now I have an idea of how long I could be waiting x
