Was this sharp pain an ectopic, PVC or a spasm around the heart? Any advice is helpful

So I was just sitting working and experienced an extra, hard beat right in the mid of my chest, localized was this super sharp pain and it gave me a head rush. It went away in seconds. I've never had this before. I've had painful extra beats before but this one jerked me. I have been overcoming successfully now a long battle with anxiety and stress which I'm winning. So of course I still get into my head from time to time. Also I notice if I don't breath regularly like properly because I'm working on the computer and so into it, that I forget to breath normally, I get these ectopics beats once in a while. However this one was a super heard and painful one. So was it that? Also what is the difference between an ectopic beat and a PVC, aren't they the same?

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks
