Hi welcome to HCM.
These episodes of sudden paroxysmal events of heart stuttering/rocking could be most likely to be panic attacks underlying anxiety.Drugs like anxiolytics like clonazepam will help.Have a baseline EKG .Stress management techniques are vital in your case.Consult an expert behavioural therapist for expert management.
Thank you
