Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Skip beats are common and mostly benign unless associated with loss of consciousness/ dizziness/ blackout/ unexplained fall. There are many precipitating factors including tea/coffee/ alcohol/ smoking/ fever/ flu etc.
Since you have additional features like less sleep, easy fatiguability this (skip beats) may be a sign of some other generalised illness. Please do see your internist.
Sincerely
