What Causes Belching And Skipped Heart Beats?

From time to time I get episodes of belching associated with skipped heart beats. It is a sensation in the chest /upper stomach. If I feel my pulse there is a definite pause in the regular heart rhythm followed by a burp. This can be pretty continuous for a couple of hours. It is not painful just very uncomfortable and makes me anxious. What causes this and is it serious?
