Why do ectopics cause pain sometimes or could it be Gerd, anxiety or an esophogeal spasm. I get them when stressed and they only last 1 sec

So here's my background

45

In good shape, workout, eat clean,

No family history of heart disease, heart attacks or cancer

Parents in mid 70s, clean bill of health

I can work out like a savage and not gas out, still have energy

My heart rate also returns to normal in 2 minutes

BP is normal at 105/71

Cholesterol is Normal

I have suffered from panic/anxiety for the last year

Just taking a lot on

and also having been sleeping the best

SO i know that causes inflammation of the GI tract

and this can irrirtate vagus nerve and that's connected to the heart and blah blah blah

SO I get these ectopics, mostly extra beats that are sometimes painful in mid of chest, just for 1 sec

I notice I ge tthem when I'm stressed or anxious or haven't slept well.

NO other symptoms

Curious if anyone else get these when anxious or stressed?

I guess I should try to relax/calm my mind more and don't try to focus on them as sometimes I 'm like when will I get another one and I think that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy? Not like in a scared way. I'm a tough SOB just like come on bring it on! but when I just live my life, in my body they disappear.

So I think there is a mind, gut, heart, body connection but just wanted to hear your experience and opinion. Thanks
