Hi,
Any type of chest pain should never be underestimated and should be evaluated in detail.
Missed heartbeat could be because of ectopics (extra beats from a part other than the normal conducting system of the heart).
You should soon see a cardiologist and get an ECG and 2D echo.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
