You could try reading this book. It may halp you realize that there are many things out there that you can catch, but you don't have any of them.

Since the doctors say there is no problem with your heart, avoid the meds and focus on accepting their diagnosis. I had chest pains for weeks but after the ECG test came out with no problem that was good enough for me. The next day all the pains were gone. The psychiatrist is a good idea if you can't do this on your own, however it isn't that hard for most people after receiving a clean bill of health.
Everyone is different, however the solution to your problem is kind of simple if you can accept the diagnosis because enjoying life will follow.

PVCs and other benign cardiac symptoms, like palpitations are totally normal with anxiety. IF indeed that's what's going on, it is absolutely nothing to worry about.
PVCs are not always easy to diagnose as they occur so randomnly, without any kind of regularity. A standard EKG will most likely not catch it unless you happen to have one while you're hooked up. I've experienced them plenty (I have a heart murmur) and they are a scary sensation. Any sensation dealing with the heart is worrisome to us. It look me a while before I could shrug them off...and my anxiety was pretty much under control when I first erxperienced it.
If you continue to experience symptoms, you could always ask for a referral to a cardiologist, who could probably easily reassure you with a simple exam, and maybe a test or two. A holter monitor is a heart monitor, like an EKG, that you wear for 24+ hours...that's usually how something like PVCs are discovered. Most liklely, none of this is necessary, but at least you know there are some options if you need some more reassurance.
Obviously, you need to keep working at addressing that anxiety. It takes time to really get it to a manageable level. Hang in there buddy!
