Hello,
Missed beats in it are not dangerous unless, it is persistent or recurring and associated with other symptoms such as sweating, nausea, or chest pain. In your case, however, you should get yourself evaluated with a baseline ECG at least along with a 2d echo as may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Imran Shaikh
