Getting a skipped heart beat here and there while resting, dangerous or of concern? my tests indicate a healthy heart structure and rhythm.

Not dangerous: Occasional palpitations are not worrisome. In fact, to some extent the fact that your heart can skip beats and get back to normal rhythm right away is a good sign that your system is working normally and can withstand more irregularity than those who don't have these. Sounds like you have good medical followup. Good luck, and don't worry.
