Help ASAP

Hi all don't wer to start so I'll give u a bit of background info. I'm 22 year old male from uk pretty fit and athletic, although my diet varies between s good diet and a bad one. Drink regularly usually a Saturday night usually 3 times a  month wer I binge heavily on all sorts of spirits and shots, When out in the town. i have used cocaine not heavily and not that frequently less than once a month over a 2 year period. I have now given up both drinking going on two weeks now and drugs going on 2 months. Also in september i went on holiday for a week where i drank no stop for a week and used ecstacy 1/2 times firstvand last time id ever do this also had very little sleep. When i came back from holiday i felt dizzy so went to the drs and told them about the drink and drugs on holiday and my symptoms bp and heart rate wer taking and they said dont drink for 2 weeks, so i never and the symptoms went. Then my problems really started last month (november) when I was eating my dinner I experienced a thud in my chest it continued through the night so I went to the hospital the next day had ECG done and blood tests ended up being diagnosed with ectopic beat by a junior dr who referred me to the cardiologist in the hospital I had further ECG and blood test again along with chest x ray all came back fine and was told I had an ectopic beat. I was asked about my lifestyle and I told them but I didn't mention the drugs or holiday.I didn't think they would have any effect as last time used cocaine was 4/5 weeks before I experienced these ectopic beats. I still get them in runs they get bad for a couple of days then cease or at least I dont notice them. I still also get symptoms of heaviness around my heart generally after I ate so possibly gas related? Also sometimes get a gurgling sensatins around my heart. Also i get sharp shooting pains in the centre  of my chest just to the left of my breat bone, I have know idea why these are happening please help I'm really scared. Should I go back to hospital. They seem to think I'm fine ive been seen by 4 drs 3 junior and 1 cardiologist also say the same thing and sEem a bit mad I keep going to a and e with it. They said its anxiety related and any further problem to see my go at the local dr surgery.

Please help me I'm anxious and scared :( I fear the worst

Let go of the fear.  If you have been seen by as many doctors as you say then you likely have a structurally normal heart though I am a bit surprised they didn't do an echo?  That said, the ectopic beats are of no consequence health wise.  They can be a bear to deal with at times but they are not believed to cause any long term health issues in an otherwise healthy heart.  Essentially you have a spot in your heart's wall that is acting like the SA node (the part of the heart that sets off a beat)  This spot causes your heart to beat an extra time and it is actually the resetting of the heart that you are likely feeling as thuds.  If you are only getting isolated extra beats there really isn't much you need to do but try to find the things that trigger them for you.  Stomach issues is a big one for me and sounds like they are for you too.  Adrenaline can make them worse so stay away from the drugs.  Stress is also a big trigger so try to ease your mind about the condition because stressing about it will make it worse.  As for the shooting pains, I would express this to your doctor because only they can tell you for sure what it is but it is possible you are sensing the spot where the extra beats are coming from.  For me it feels like someone is poking me with a stick but it only bothers me when I have a lot of the ectopics.  In any event, check around the forum on posts about pvcs and pacs and do some online research so you can get a grasp on what is going on.  Take care, you really are going to be fine but do try to stay away from the drugs.  They are very bad for your heart.
