[|AI|]  Hellothanks for posting here. First the heart beat missing thing may be something just subjective which you feel. Hyperacidity and gas problems in the stomach may occasionally cause such symptoms like skipping heart beat sensation.  Second possibility is you really have missed beats. Missed beats are present in a small percentage of normal population. They are usually harmless. Missed beats occurring with some underlying heart disease need to be evaluated. Since you have no cardiac history you need not worry about them. I advice you a course of antacids pantoprazole tablets 40 mg twice a day for one week then once a day for a week. Just see if symptoms disappear. Thank you
