What Causes Irregular Heartbeats And Shortness Of Breath, While On Gabapentin?

I am, and have been taking Gabapentin for several mouths now, but recently have been experiencing irregular and skipped heartbeats. This leaves me feeling somewhat noshes and short of breath. It is very scary sometimes. Going to contact my Dr. on Monday. Should I be alarmed?
