Okay, your anxiety over this issue is leading you to associations that are incorrect. Benign palpitations do not lead to dangerous arrhythmias because they are being caused by different mechanisms. Your heart is healthy and therefore will not subcumb to the type of events we associate with heart disease.
It's important when things tend to be crowding in on you to go back to basics and remember your anatomy, together with exactly what is occuring when palpitations of the nature being experienced take place. You must not let your mind tell you that anything is possible, because it isn't. We are able to make great predictions with striking accuracy about health matters because the human physiology is an extremely predictable process based upon hundreds of years of experience and research.
What creates the problem in the mind of an anxious person is not the event itself, but rather the mind's unrelenting vigilence toward the unidentified fears that propel them into a state of panic. Associations are made that can either bring relief or alternatively elevate fears to a point requiring intervention. It is the source of what kindles the nervous system to respond in unrecognizable ways to the patient.
In short, your hearts are fine. Benign palpitations do not lead to worse things. Again, it's not the heart that is causing the disturbance at all, which would be the case where dangerous arrhythmias are concerned. We know you're healthy from the results we receive on diagnostic testing. Heart disease was used to create the algorithms or measures by which the test is performed, so if disease is not present, then it will show negative on the test. As for "missing" things, we do a pretty good job I'm afraid to say, and we use the latest available technology to help us. Just because you have a symptom, does not mean that you have a disease. When you feel sea-sick as a consequence of wave motion disturbing the vestibular process, it does not mean you now have a disease or that there's something wrong with you.
It only means that your sensory factors have been altered such that it induces a physical response. The very same thing is happening with benign palpitations occuring as a consequence of Vagus nerve stimulation. You're going to be just fine.
Best regards and Good Health
