How To Cure Heart Palpitations And Skipped Beats ?

I ve been on PPIs and H2 blockers for about 15 years an in the last year have noticed heart palpitations or skipped beats. A cardiologist checked out my heart and could not find anything wrong there. Are the medications to blame? When I refrain from taking them for several days, the problem goes away and then comes back immediately when I take them again. Help!
