You have had 2 ER visits and they told you there is nothing wrong.
You fell to your knees and almost passed out twice and that was a while ago, so if there was anything serious enough to do that to your heart, you would have been dead within a few days.

Hi
In order to know whether you have benign PVC vs a more serious heart issue, I urge you get yourself a full work-up with a board certified Cardiologist - or ideally with an Electrophysiologist, who can conduct a what is called an EPS (electrophysiology study). An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who has additional training in the electrical workings (heart rhythm/beat) of the human heart.
You just mentioned SVT which is a serious heart issue - please see a specialist as soon as possible. Also, please understand that Holter Monitors are great for certain things, but unless you have an arrhythmia occur while wearing it, the doctors won't be able to see it. Often the Holter Monitors are only worn for a day or so.
An Electrophysiology Study (EPS) would be more likely to find any electrical problems you may have. I hope this helps.

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!
