Brief Answer:
It looks like premature cardiac complex don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
You are experiencing a short pause in your heart and this is normal. This looks like extra cardiac beats which is a normal finding and you shouldn't worry about that.
However i would suggest to do:
- cardiac echo
- stress test
- Holter monitoring
to exclude any other heart disease.
Wish you health!
