Could not smoking for more than 15 hours cause skipped heart beats it feels like a thump in middle of chest and heart pause for a second... ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's possible. The usual symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are changes in mood (dysphoria or depression), insomnia, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating and restlessness. Skipped heart beats(palpitations) can occur in normal people. Stress, caffeine, and medications can also cause them.
