Suggest Medication For Irregular Heart Beat

I have been experiencing irregular heart beats and skipping beats over the past three days. My heart rate is about normal(52-55 per minute), but it skips and then races. I have been incredibly tired, and when this happens, I get a slight rush when the heart beat resumes. I also just realized that I have a slight fever(about .8 degrees). Is this anxiety or caffeine caused? Should I just take a clonazepam or something like that?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, skipping heart beat can not be detected without EKG test, if this is the case of arrhythmia so it has to be sent for cardiac evaluation for confirmation, let me inform you that doctor can only judge this, of course you must be having some symptoms but it may not be due to rhythm.
Anxiety can change the cardiac rhythm but it is not the harmful no need to take any medicine for this but try to come out of the stress, if you are going to read the heart beat on your own then it may vary to the great extent, it is all depends upon your mental status or consciousness.
hope this information helps.
