Why do i have skipped heartbeats? is that because of stress? how can i protect against stress? thanks :).

Yes: Stress is a factor. Other possibilities include: nicotine, caffeine, lack of sleep, asthma meds. Understand: everyone has skipped beats everyday but we normally don't notice them. If yours aren't improving over the next week, get checked by your doctor to be sure there's nothing else going on. There are meds, if you need them, that can help.
