hello
i have gone through your query. i can understand your concern.
before i would comment on the missed or skipped beats i want to know if you are having any symptoms like loss of consciousness or dizziness. have you done an EKG or a holter monitoring.
if you dont have any symptoms then 50-60 beats per day are harmless. however for youe safety i want to rule out any cardiac element.
dont be tense. do an EKG, TMT (TREADMILL TEST) and holter monitoring.
Wishing you good health
thank you
