You are going to see a lot of us recommend seeing a EP (Electrophysiolgist) for electrical issues of the heart. They specialize in this above and beyond at cardiologist.

Several times a day is not a lot of PVCs, PACs. But you have to be careful that you are experiencing PACs and PVCs and not tachycardia. I see you are on a diuretic. Talk to your doctors about electrolytes if you are on a diuretic and can brief you on their importance.

My EP wanted me to take magnesium to help with my PVCs. I do take it along with a medication to lesson my PVCs. I have a ICD/Pacemaker so the number of PVCs I get is recorded on my device. I have hundreds of thousands of PVCs over a 3 month period (every 3 months they do a check of device remotely).

I will add something here based on your post. You list anxiety over going to doctor but you should see it as getting treatment and improving your life. Anxiety and stress will increase the number of PVCs and PACs. You did not mention your weight. Is your weight normal. My EP says gaining significant weight can increase you PVCs and PACs as is an additional stress on your heart.
Good luck and don't see seeking medical advice as a stressors but addressing the issue.

Is there any way to recognize the difference in feel between PACs, PVCs and tachycardia. I have a CRT pacemaker with leads into both the atrium and ventricle. The one in the ventricle I feel in my diaphragm from beats of the phrenic nerve.
