What Causes Heart To Skip A Beat That Leads To Dizziness In Teens?

I'm seventeen, and sometimes it feels like my heart seems to skip a beat or I can just feel it pushing really hard. I take Pristiq and am tilt positive (my heart rate changes severly when I change positions.) When my heart does this I get disoriented and dizzy and I sometimes feel like I can't breathe. It happens rarely to occasionally.

dear ,
you should make an Echocardiogram to check your Aorta and your heart functions ( systolic and diastolic ) , otherwise many causes can do it like :
1- Anemia , can cause that escaped beat ( extrasystole ) .
2- Anorexia and lack of sleep .
3- psychic , especially if you are coming to an unusual event .
