Anxiety can cause increased heart beat but usually in sinus rythm. If there are missed heartbeat Getting cardiologist opinion is a right option. if he clears any organic cause.Then psychiatric causes can be evaluated

Psychiatrist Dr. Shubham Mehta's  Response
Hello
anxiety can cause such situations. but it is always to consult a specialist as anxiety disorders are diagnosis of exclusion. if your cardiologist clears your ECG, then you should practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation to control anxiety.

Take care.
