Hello,
I passed carefully through your questions and would explain that some skipped heart beats or palpitations are quite normal in every healthy individual during physical activity or emotional stress.
Anyway, I would recommend performing some additional tests in order to exclude any possible cardiac arrhythmia or metabolic disorders:
- A cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart function and structure
- An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for any cardiac arrhythmia
- Blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance
- Thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
