Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
NO, trapped gas DOES NOT cause feeling of skipped beats.
But I have seen many patients with hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease complaining of abnormal heart beat.
I would suggest you to have an EKG done for evaluating your problem.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
