I'm sorry you're dealing with this and I'll definitely remember you in my prayers.
I started with PVC's and a bounding pulse 2 years ago. My primary sent me to a cardiologist who then put me on a Holter monitor which confirmed my PVC's. He told me it was benign PVCs and not to worry but because of my family's history of heart disease, I insisted on further testing. He put me through the same battery of tests that you described and everything came back clean. No blockages, no structural issues. But it still worries the hell out of me.

You got it man.
Had a friend just hit 15 months alive after being diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma. Take care of yourself and keep your spirits up. Lean on family and friends.

Been in your shoes a few times with the cancer, Chemo, surgery, and gun shots last time I was 32 yrs old. I stopped the asking why me after the angels and accepted my situation. They will teach you to enjoy the little things which we all do not see.
If you see the angels it is real and they won’t hurt you. They will comfort you no pain, no fear, and very peaceful. Each color you will see is an angel and for some reason it is always 13 beautiful lights. The one assigned to you will come forward to protect you. Female like very beautiful glowing gown cannot see the face. They will only come when needed.

If you've never sat at your computer and created a document for your wife that entails all of your life insurance information such as policy numbers, company, and coverage amount, along with your wishes for what she is to do with the money as it relates to your very young children (who don't deserve to lose their dad anytime soon), it's a terrifyingly huge mind-frick of an experience
were close in age and yes ive done this numerous times
its a horrible experience each time
again thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

My prayers are with you and yours.

Prayers man.
Random medical events like this are the absolute worst feeling. I've had a couple of strange close calls, or concerning things, but they've never turned out poorly, thankfully.
But I know folks who have, plenty. Lean on the people close to you, and if you are religious, lean on God. If not, I'm still praying for you.

I'm looking into other cardiologists right now, actually.
First, prayers, of course. Try contacting Dr. Daniel Fontenot at BR Cardiology near OLOL. A good guy and doc. He’s kept me alive for more than 20 years.
In 1969, I survived being wounded twice in Vietnam but extreme exposure to Agent Orange left me with a hidden ticking time bomb of a heart. In 2003, at age 53, I suffered a moderate heart attack due to a 99% blockage of my LAD (widow maker) but I responded within 25 minutes and damage was isolated to the tip of my heart. A stent fixed it. But it also damaged my septum which divides the heart chambers, leaving me with sick sinus syndrome (an electrical problem).
Thus I have a lot of PVCs almost daily. Sometimes almost none, then other days they bunch up and are scary. Strangely the most PVCs coincide with the Spring and Fall equinoxes (magnetic effects?) Also caused bradycardia, a low heart rate as low as 42 while resting and brief, rare bouts of SVT.
Ejection fractions 50-51% so I’m good when I’m not flip-flopping all day. Very, very slight enlargement now and I run out of breath fairly quick when I do really strenuous stuff. Good to go with moderate aerobic stuff, like walking and screwing.
Now at 70, just take meds, try to manage weight and exercise but that’s not so easy anymore. This COVID crap doesn’t help either with all its stresses.
Hang tough. It’s all we can do.
