Hi
Welcome to the forum!
A very common cause of a feeling that heart skips a beat can be due to excess caffeine or alcohol intake. If you take either cut down the quantity and see if it helps. Smoking is another cause that should be seriously looked into.
At times it is due to electrolyte disturbance like sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Hence get the blood levels of these checked.
Heart causes have already been eliminated in your case. Anxiety and stress can also be a contributing factor. You can try meditation, yoga and deep breathing exercises to lower your stress. Hope this helps. Take care!
