What does it mean when my heart is skipping a beat? it happens probably every 10 beats approximately.

Could be normal: Skipping a beat can be an extra beat. Can be a normal occurrence in a healthy person or can be an arrhythmia from a patient with cardiovascular disease. Ekg and stress test may be indicated. Consult your physician.
