A member asked:
I have been under a lot of stress this past week and it feels like my heart is skipping a beat at least every minute or so is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart skipping: Stress can cause your heart to skip beats. So can caffeine. If it persists and you're concerned, go see your family doctor and get an ekg or possibly an event monitor.
