What Causes Fast Heart Rate With Skipped Beat?
Im 19 and i have had a wierd feeling in my heart. It feels like its skipping a beat or fluttery. It pounds hard and races sometimes. it hasnt done it anymore till yesterday I drink some beer and the skipping beat feeling and my heart racing started like right after I drink four beers. What could this be?

Hi,
Drinking too much alcohol may alter the heartbeat and try to avoid this, to confirm the skipping heartbeat or escape beat needs EKG for confirmation without this it can not be said to be escaped beat.
But it could be nonspecific, if you do not have any illness or cardiac disease then it is nothing to worry, it is still advisable to get done the EKG just to rule out the doubt.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
