A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skipped Beats: Consult a primary care doctor and review all medications Do you consume coffee or high caffeinated sodas like Mountain Dew or Red Bull. If you do these should be stopped. You should have your thyroid tested. High thyroid hormone can cause irregular heartbeats. If all this is done and skips continue you may need monitoring with a special device called a Halter monitor. Ask your private doctor.
