Could be anything from too much caffeine to problems with a valve in your heart. You need a cardiac workup.

Uncomfortable changes in heart rate are the most frequently reported symptoms of panic attacks. Over 80% of those experiencing panic list a rapid or irregular heart rate as a symptom.
Three complaints are common among patients who seek a doctor's advice about their heart: "My heart feels like it's pounding violently in my chest," "My heart is racing, " and "My heart feels like it skips a beat." An arrhythmia is any irregularity in the heart's rhythm. If the heart beats more rapidly than normal, this arrhythmia is called tachycardia. An unpleasant sensation in the heart, whether rapid or slow, regular or irregular, and of which one is consciously aware, is called a palpitation.
PLEASE SEE A GOOD CARDIOLOGIST FOR EVALUATION OF YOUR CARDIAC STATUS.

There are many reasons for a heart that skips beats. It should be checked out by a cardiologist. You should probably wear a holter monitor to check what rhythm your heart is in. Most of the time these skips are harmless, but should be checked out.
