Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that it can be due to heart arrhythmia which is why breathing difficulties with skipped heartbeats.
It’s recommended for you to get a basic cardiac evaluation done which includes ecg, echocardiography and a HOLTER (ambulatory ECG) done and consult with reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
