Hi,

Skipped heart beat can be normal (VPC's) or abnormal in form of heart block or arrhythmias. As you have dizziness also so I would suggest you to put a 24hr ECG monitoring called as Holter Monitor which continuously records the heart rhythm for 24 hrs and will pick a abnormality if any and will help in guiding further management plan.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari
