It is hard to know from the info you gave....how often does it happen and for how long? R U menopausal? If it happens alot you should get and EKG done....or if you think it is caused by nerves maybe you could get an antianxiety medication from your DR.

More than likely it's just palpitations. Everyone whether they feel it or not gets a missed beat now and then. The more you focus on it the more it will happen. Sometimes they can take your breath away. You may be anxious about the missed beats thus leading to a panic attack. Caffeine and stress can cause more missed beats.
Just to be safe you should go to the doctor for a physical.

This recently started happening to me. I saw a cardiologist who did an EKG and then a stress test. He had me see an electrophysiologist in his office who tells me I probably have an "extra" electrical pathway which causes my heart to kick of faster beats sometimes. I am wearing an event monitor which will record these beats if I feel them so he can be more certain this is what it is. Get yourself checked out.

i suffer from panic attacks,and ive noticed i seem to get them a lot more in the summer time.it freaks me out because i dread the end of spring knowing summer is around the corner.BUT i also think that sometimes its all in your head as your always thinking about when its going to strike.so i would just try to relax a bit more,and if nothing improves then go to your doctor.lots of luck!

however,
*extra/skipped heartbeats

• Palpitations

• Sensation of being choked or smothered
• Feelings of dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness
• Paresthesias
