I have been having what doctors call palpitations every day

Short answer, YES.
What I get is PVCs. When they are single I ignore them. When together cause me a lot of stress as I think I am going to go into VTAC and get shocked by my ICD/Pacemaker.
Palpitations are also called flutters. Check with your doctors. Most are common and not serious medical condtions but could be. My wife has no issues with her heart. She has a EF of 70 which is excellent. However she has heat palpitations. Her doctors think the cause is stress and axniety.
You mentioned freaking out which inferrs you are under high axniety stress. My EP told me that stress and anxiety is a known cause of AFIB and VFIB. Lessoning that stress/anxiety can help reduce PVCS and PACs.
Have you talked to your doctors about medicaions for anxiety stress? There are a lot of medications out there that can help along with lifestyle changes. Finding a exercise (with doctor approval) you like doing or a hobby you like doing. Just finds something that brings a smile to you.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply but for some reason when I try to exercise and I get out of breath they happen more so really I'm afraid to exercise I've also noticed that I have been having alot of muscle twitches all over the left side of my body with aches and I'm thinking that it is related I had an echo done and wore a Holter monitor but they said it came back normal when I get these palpitations they happen with no warning I'm fine one minute then all of a sudden it feels like my heart is out of rhythm and that's when I freak out.
