Dear Sir/Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
If your cardiologist did not find anything wrong and you do not have any symptoms like blackout/ vertigo/ loss of consciousness, then you need not worry.
Skipped beats, when asymptomatic and not associated with a structural heart disease need no work up or treatment.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
