How normal is it to have skipped heart beats?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very: Everybody gets these. More than five per minute when you're limiting your caffeine intake, or if the come in runs, cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or make you faint requires a physician's office visit at least.

It's very common: Almost everyone will have several skipped beats each day. Stimulants, like caffeine or medications.can make it worse. Often people are unaware how frequently they occur.
