Hi Matt welcome to connect and I feel your concern. It's funny how doctors like to say it's not a problem and medically that's true. But I have also had them at different times with my heart rhythm issues. For me when it got bad I finally decided to talk to my doctors about a anti-anxiety pill.
The unfortunate part about these types of problems is anxiety can actually make the problem worse. Kind-of a catch 22. I was told to actually yell at
Myself to convince myself it was not going to hurt me. A counselor told me that once. If you would have pulled up beside me at a light you might see me all alone yelling at my self. But it did work sometimes. The other method I would use is what they actually tell people who are of risk of a heart arrhythmia or attack which I also had.
It's similar to what pregnant ladies were taught to help strengthen their pelvic floor muscles. Squeeze real hard like your going to the bathroom and keep repeating it. Also coughing very rigorously also. It acts on the heart to kind-of reset it, as funny as that sounds that actually got me out of some real issues with VT arrhythmias. So I hope maybe some of those tricks work and ask you doctors for maybe a light anti-anxiety pill I took them for a while and they do work. Let me know if any of those work.
Blessings

Thank you for your help! Yeah, I’m a 12-year paramedic so I know about vagal maneuvers but mine are so sporadic, I’m not sure it will help.

Pills are out, although I’m curious about swapping from BB to CCB.

I’ve run the gamut of possibilities but this has gotten out of hand. Ugh!!!
