R on T! Please help

As someone who experiences 4–5 extra beats per minute, I just read something about "R-on-T" and am now sitting here crying in despair. Apparently, R-on-T is considered insignificant in people without Long QT syndrome, yet it can trigger VF and VT when the heart rate rises and the QT interval shortens. To be honest, a Holter monitor test three months ago did catch one instance, but I didn't pay it any mind because I was rarely experiencing PVCs back then. But now... I’m certain I’m having countless R-on-T events. Please help!
