Probably not: Most people have an early or ectopic heart beat once in a while, and these are generally quite harmless. If you are concerned, or certainly if the irregular heart beat feeling is associated with dizziness, shortness of breath, or other symptoms - see your doctor where further evaluation may consist of an ecg, an overnight her cording of your heart beats, or other testing.
