hello,
This is not related to sinus infection and there are multiple causes of skipped beat. First thing is we need to look what type of beats are there, so you should get one ecg and if normal you ll need 24 hrs holter monitoring. If some abnormalities are detected you ll Also need echo.
Till the time, you should avoid smoking, alcohol if any. Get back with reports.
Also, I there is any stress, anxiety, then try to get relieved of it by using relaxation techniques like yoga and deep breathing.
