Your heart beat increases with exercise, activity, stress, anxiety, etc.
It will slow down at rest or when at peace (like when sleeping).
This is all completely normal, though many people hardly notice. You may just be more intuned to what your body is doing.
The sensation of it suddenly slowing down, skipping a beat, or the likes could be the sign of a heart arrythmia (a heart not quite beating right). This might be nothing, or it could be serious. If it continues and you are concerned, go see a doctor. Your doctor will get an EKG...
An EKG is harmless - they hook up a bunch of wires to your chest, press a button, and seconds later get a print up. It doesn't take very long, at all...
