Suggest Treatment For Heart Beat Irregularity

I have these symptoms "Sensation of skipped heart beat followed by an urge to burp". The symptoms are subtle but pretty consistent. I was wondering if this is anything to worry about. They seem to go away during or after some rest, and after doing some exercise, I admit I don't often get enough sleep or exercise.

Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and understand your concearn.But you should not worry,its nothing serious.
As you describe, my opinion is that we are dealing with extrasistoles.This are electrical heart impulses that generates in some parts of heart different from normal sinus rhythm.This generate that escaped beat that you feel.You have this sensation like a beat is skipping,you may experience palpitations or an anxiety sensation.This extrasistoles may happen from different reasons from simple emotional stres to other pathologies like anemia,hyperthyroidism ect.
So,if I was your treating doctor I will recommend you some examinations like a blood analysis to exclude anemia,your thyroid hormones,an electrocardiogram,echo cardiography and of course a holter monitoring.This will help us to document and see what happens whith your rhythm.At meantime I will recommend you to avoid coffee,caffeine products becouse they rise extrasistolic beats.I encourage you to have physical training becouse sometimes it healps in reducing extrasistoles,even making them disappear.
Whish I was helpful.Take good care.Best regards
