An EKG only shows the condition of the heart at the time of the test.  It is not unusual to have skipped beats, so was there an abnormal EKG report, and if so what did your doctor say about the test the test results?  Were you on medication at the time of the test or a short time prior.  Has there been a blood test to rule out an electrolytic imbalance?
