Right lets take this one thing at a time.

If you had a dangerous heartbeat problem they would not let you out of hospital - end of. So you have an abnormality in your ecg, there are loads of harmless abnormalities. I have super ventricular tachycardia attacks, they are horrible and scary but they won't harm me.

You might have a blood clotting problem but then again you might not. Even if you do they can treat this.

You might have an ulcer ( assume you mean a stomach ulcer) again this is easily treated.

You have not been told you have a life threatening disease, everything is treatable if in the end it turns out to be what they think.

See how less frightening it is written like this.
