I get symptoms where my heart skips a beat then i feel like i have to burp. once i burp or have a bowel movement the skipped heartbeat goes away. why?

Cardiac: Not uncommon to have skipped beats but if they persist or worsen seeing your doctor would be a good idea. It is likely when you burb or have a bm you create a pressure which can reset your heart.

Shipped beat: Burping and bowel movement increases vagal tone. It decreases or relieves skipped beats.
