Hi,

I would explain that there is a known correlation of the menstrual cycle and skipped heart beats.

It is explained with the hormonal changes and with blood loss during the cycle.

There is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, considering your past medical history, I would recommend periodical check up with Holter monitoring every 6-12 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
