Need Help Anyone Please Pvcs pacs I Dont Know !!!!!

I need help from people in here extremely bad anyone please. Ok so i have this flutters in my chest they feel like skipped beats they are horrible when trying to sleep they dont stop unless im sleeping. I used to have this big thuds that took my breath away and made me think i was dying. I Had 2 of these when playing Baseball and thought i was gunna dye i got really dizzy these have not happend in years its now these constant annoying flutters. I have become severe agoraphobic fear of dying mostly from CPVT and or long QT. My mother and grandmother both have palps and are both on medication neither says they have fainted or felt dizzy. I dont know if maybe we have the cpvt gene or long qt gene but none of them have ever went into cardiac arrest or fainted including my moms sister who has no symptoms at all im a mess ive been checked by a cardiologist and electrologist or w.e its called. They found nothing twice but i know cpvt is extremely hard to catch on tests im worried they wanted me to go to threapy these doctors btw but i know what i feel is real.

Have you had an EKG or echocardiogram when you saw a doctor? If these tests caught the palpitations, the Dr should have been able to confirm that they were PACs or PVCs - both of which are very common and usually benign. I get lots of them and they have caused me huge panic and anxiety at times. However, every thing I have read about them says they are harmless if your heart is structurally normal, which tests would show. It is the anxiety which is harming you not the palps. There are some great books that helped me - Self Help for Your Nerves by Dr Claire Weeks and Stop Thinking Start Living by Richard Carlson are two. In the UK drs will often give beta blockers which can help both palpitations and anxiety.
