Hello,
I have gone through your query .Thanks for using HCM.
Irregular and skip beats need evaluation.It may be due to variety of causes .Multiple benign extra beats are quite common in absence of serious heart disorder .However we should rule our any serious rhythm disorder.
I suggest you to get ECG done which will give some primary information.Holter monitoring may be needed for further evaluation.
My best wishes
