It could be something very benign, or it could be a signal of something more sinister. It is impossible for us to tell you why without listening to his heart.
There is a very distinct way a "normal" heart should sound - and your pediatrician is well trained to hear these "normal" and "abnormal" sounds. Take him to the doctor and make sure you tell him of your concerns.
Also, tell the doctor of any other signs or symptoms. Does he turn blue? Hiccup? Get dizzy or pass out??
Brainstorm and think of anything you can tell your doctor about your son's behavior. It may be nothing...but it helps to err on the side of caution and let the doctor investigate

I have this. It's an irregular heart beat. When I was a child it felt like a flutter every now and again, sometimes quite scarey and usually when I was tired and least expecting it! After a thorough examination (in the middle of which there was a black out!!! I was left laying there virtually starkers with wires dangling all over the place!!), it was confirmed to be an irregular heart beat. No problem at all. But I would advise you to take your child to the doctor and have it checked out as soon as possible. At least then, you will be sure.

It could be long QT syndrome. It comes out during childhood development. Take him to a pediatric cardiologist for an EKG.

It means that his heart is irregular - It's not a problem - it all depends on how old he is, how many beats he is missing etc.
This needs investigating.

could be a heart murmur. talk to the dr and see if they also realize it. lots of ppl have them but some are more dangerous than others and you might have to take precautions on certain activities, etc if he has one of those more dangerous murmurs.

Take ECG and meet a Pediatric cardiologist. This may be due to disturbed rhythm of the heart.
