I experience occasional skipped heart beats. my doctor says it is from my anxiety which i take medicine for, but still scary.any thoughts?

All the time : We see this all the time. If you have had an appropriate work up (holter monitor, stress test, cardiology input) then i would not worry about it too much. It's not dangerous.
