if your skips are infrequent, and your doctor wasn't able to catch any during an electrocardiogram, i would request a 24-hour holter at least to ease my mind. i wouldn't go looking for a specialist until you've been given an event monitor and then something is found to be wrong. i wouldn't be too concerned, if your doctor said not to worry. skipped beats are common. good luck.

: I get my heart skipping beats sometimes when I exercise, for example when I go for a run. But it's not something that make me feel weak or faint. I was even told that it may be somgthing call long qt syndrom but my doctor gave me ecg and told me nothing is wrong. I don't know if that's good and I should just forget about it or if I should be looking for some kind of specialist to find wrong with me. Any ideas? Thanks.
