Yes: The most important thing to know before taking a medication for skipped beats is to determine what is causing the skipped beats. Wearing an event detector or holter monitor can provide this information.

Yes, possibly: If you've been diagnosed with atrial flutter, then your feeling of palpitations is common. But since this pattern is irregular and effects cardiac performance somewhat, as well as having other risks, this needs to be evaluated in depth by your cardiologist in order to assure that you're getting the best and safest therapy.
