My Heart Sometimes Skips Beats Or Kind Of Jumps . What Could Be The Problem ?
My heart sometimes skips beats or kind of "jumps". What could be the problem?
I'm sixteen, I eat like a normal teenager. I have depression and anxiety. I have, in the past, been known to drink and smoke weed. I don't smoke nearly as much anymore, once a month at this point. This has been going on for awhile, every now again my heart will skip a beat or feel like its jumped, there is minor discomfort when this happens. I've never thought much of it, only today I have the flu and it's happen two or three times.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
This may be due to anxiety and depression you have,
But as you have habit of taking weed and smoking,you require evaluation of your problem.
Consult physician and get investigated.
ok and bye.
