Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.
The abnormal heart beating once in a while is most likely related to stress and anxiety. If these episodes become more frequent and are associated with dizziness or fainting spells then cardiac causes need to be ruled out after proper investigations under the care of a cardiologist.
For symptomatic relief, doing deep breathing exercises and yoga will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
