Heart beats normally then makes a weird lub/dub sound, pauses for a second and then starts beating normally. then repeats. what could this be?

This is a pretty: good description of PVCs. Premature beats that come from the bottom part of the heart (ventricle) PVC=Premature Ventricular Contractions. At your age they are probably benign (not dangerous) but if they bother you they can be treated with medications or electrophysiological procedures (ablation.) You should have a quantitative monitor applied as >15% or so can lead to more serious issues.
