Heart skipped a beat when playing basketball, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A single 'skipped beat' is usually not harmful. This sensation is caused by a single premature beat. Monitor them. I would not worry about it unless they become very frequent or cause symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, or lightheadedness.
