It started weeks after I had my baby. All of a sudden I would almost have a heart attack just because there's a loud noise or some bad news.
It's been 2 years now and my symptoms seem to even worsen. My cardio says I'm fine. They checked my adrenal function and thyroid, too. All is "good".
I also suffer from anxiety.

Anxiety is the reason for being startled easily... I do that too.

I used to have this feeling too when i was in school. Whenever my teacher calls me loudly or screams in class, i get startled. And she always scolds me that i am dreaming and that is the reason i get startled. I am really angry with her to always say i am dreaming in class. She even told that to my parents. Once i was having a sharp pain in my chest, i went to see a doctor. I stayed in hospital for 3 days as i was having anxiety attacks often. Till that day my teacher never dares say anything about me. Even now, at times i do get this feeling, the doctor say it is normal and i just need to relax my mind a lot.

You answered your own question...anxiety. It frequently causes the sufferer to become easily startled. Try having some quiet time to yourself each day, practice yoga or some other relaxing exercise. If it continues or worsens, talk with your doctor again.

I startle easily when I have a lot on my mind (which I'm sure you do). Try some deep breathing exercises, yoga, or cardio. Also check out this information on EFT. I have been using it for about 6 months, and it's great!

Possibly hormone levels. Check your pituitary gland function and talk to a nutritionist about otc products that might restore balance to your system.
