Saw a top notch cardiologist. Wore a monitor for two weeks (twice). Had a heart cath test. Perfect results (excellent for my age)
Long story short...there are "normal" skipped beats and non-normal ones. The normal ones are more prevalent as you age and won't hurt you. The others can be bad.
See cardiologist to make sure.

This was my experience at age 43. I noticed it more when I drank alcohol and then laid down in bed, same with caffeine. I consume very little of each. It is disconcerting for sure. At the time I found on ebay a SPO2 meter that data-logged and showed heart rhythm. I wore it a few times over night and looked at the data charts on my PC the next day. There was nothing to worry about. It just feels weird.
