Skipping beats: Not always when we think a heart is skipping a beat, is it. Also may be from too much caffeine ,coffee, energy drinks,stress, lack of sleep, medication, recreational drugs. Lastly, occasionally we all have a skipped beat or two, rarely it may be due to an underlying condition. Would follow up with doctor/urgent care, if worried consider EKG/Holter
