NSVT or maybe in my head?

Please someone help I am terrified...

I know that it isn't possible to tell for sure without an EKG, but I want opinions regardless to ease my mind.

20/F in good health. Diagnosed anxiety

I was sitting on my couch and I was checking my pulse... I felt just one PVC followed by what seemed to be 3 fast regular beats then back to normal. im certain the three fast beats didn't feel like PVCs. They weren't strong or light just normal and fast. Could this have been NSVT? What's does NSVT feel like?

The only thing I can think it was was
NSVT
maybe adrenaline made my heart beat faster after the PVC which.. Is unlikely but not possible

SVT

Or maybe it was just in my head. I do tend to over react a bit. I've been worrying about this happening to me and funny how I think it has.

I am not sure what it is but I'm sure it's some kind of ectopic beat.  I happened to be in the ER and started have a series of 3 fast beats and they were PACs, I asked.  It is nothing to worry about, I have had them for many years.

I wanted to add here...you really need to try to get your anxiety under control.  I am sure that it is contributing to the # of  PVCs you are having.  When I first developed Afib I was terrified and went to a therapist to help me get control of it.  If you allow it, it will take over your life and you will be miserable.
