Heart palpitations feel like floor drops?

I believe I get PVC's from anxiety and the medications used to treat it. Not positive since no doctor has ever given a term for the sensation when I describe it. But wanted to know if anyone else with premature beats or skipped beats simultaneously feels like the floor is dropping under them or that they're sinking into the ground when this happens?

I feel almost like a shock in my chest that is the same feeling you get when something scares you bad, and at the same time it's like the floors dropped an inch below my feet. Also can feel like I've sunk into the ground.
