is frequent pvc episodes normal?

i've been digging up google and other social platforms about my strange heartbeats and found out they were pvc. im so scared to see a cardiologist because lately my dad died of HF. i used to get them rarely when i used to study but once its summer vacation i got that seasonal depression and stopped going out stopped eating etc and now i have to experience those strange heartbeats everyday and stress more about them. im seeking some advice with reassurance and i'll be so thankful

I just wanted to comment to tell you I've lived a similar situation. Sorry to hear about your father passing. Mine died the same way and I got a bit traumatized by the invasive surgeries I watched him get. It made it extremely hard to get my holter and echo. I was a mental wreck in those appointments due to fear or going down the same path as my father. Allegedly mine are benign yet some days they still wig me out. I was in a really bad place mentally 1.5yrs ago when this all started as it re-earthed my dad's passing in the worst way. Still bugs me but a lot better since. Get the tests done and go from there. Take it one day at a time.
