Should Heart Stutters Be Cause Of Worry?

For the past hour I have been having what I can best describe as heart stutters--it feels like my heart is trying to skip a beat. It's occurring every 5-10 minutes. Should I be worried? I am in my early 30s and drink energy drinks on a daily basis. Could the caffeine be the cause of this?
