heart skipping beat

My husband had  a stint put in in April 2009. We have been cleaning and working the past few days getting ready for the holiday and today my husband said he feels his heart skipping a beat every now and then. Otherwise he feels perfectly fine, no pain of any kind. Should we be concerned?

or maybe you should visit a cardiologist for it directly just to be sure?

as far as i know 99% chance it's harmless.
you can ask your general doctor to take an ECG and ask him if it's necessary to visit a cardiologist for it.

Be careful in treating abnormal heartbeats with pharma drugs.

If the abnormal heartbeats do not cause you much difficulties,
and they are not considered lifethreatening or damaging in the long run...

Then it is not worth to risk the possible side-effects of pharma drugs.
I have read from some people that took BB's and CCB's to treat their abnormalities
like pvc's... they had success in the beginning of treatment but eventually
their problems got worse which they suspect might not have been the case
had they not decided to take pharma drugs.

In many cases pharma drugs are the best choice but in many other cases it's not.
Always do good research before u decide to take a pharmadrug longterm.
Many people regret going on many different kind of drugs ranging from anxiety, depression and even heart meds.
