How often does this happen, once a night, once a minute, once every 5 beats? Is the pulse regular or irregular? Any feelings of pain or shortness of breath? A lot of people miss a few beats now and then. These are known as ventricular ectopics and are made worse by caffeine and stress. Maybe you are more aware of them when you are relaxed. They are not generally serious. However there are a whole host of other things it could be as well and it would probably be sensible to get a doctor to listen to your heart and do an ECG recording. I wouildn't lie awake at night worrying about it though.

What does it mean when your heart skips beats?

It means you have chronic tachycardia, which is basically an educated-sounding way of saying "often your heart beats fast".If you have, or think you have, a medical problem (and tachycardia can be a serious medical problem), see a physician. You can't throw out one symptom on the internet and expect to get a valid diagnosis.

My heart misses a beat every now and then. is this normal?

I've been having problems with my heart skipping a beat many times a day off and on for several years now. It felt like a big drum beat in my chest. Recently, my heart was skipping a beat about every 20 seconds and driving me crazy. So I stopped drinking coffee, wine, eating chocolate or having anything with caffeine in it. I also tried relaxing thinking it was stress. Nothing worked until I stopped eating prunes with the preservative potassium sorbate in it and taking Omega 3 and CoQ10 2 times a day. I don't know if it was the potassium sorbate that was causing the problem, though I suspect it was, but I'm continuing with the Omega 3 and CoQ10 since the heart beat skips have complete gone away for the last 3 days. I can now drink coffee and wine, and eat chocolate again with no heart beat skipping problems. I've also switch to prune juice since it have no preservative.
