Can anyone say, is this a skipped beat?
Hi, I feel a little exploding sensation in my throat sometimes. I think this is my heartbeat. This sensation feels like my heartbeat has been stopped for one or two seconds. When My heart starts beating once again after the pause it starts beating too fast. I wanted to know if this is the same as heart palpitation ( skipped beats) or any other condition?

Palpitations doesn't mean that you have skipped a heart beat. It only means that you are conscious of your heart beat.
Do you have this feeling all the time or only lying in one position?
Please get your BP checked. Get an ECG done with Long lead 2. Get your BMI also done.

You can consult a me on Practo with all these details.

Normally you won't feel heart beat just like that unless you keep your hand on the left side below breast area.
If you can feel heart pounding sometimes, when you're just sitting, it's nothing but palpitations due to anxiety.
No need to worry, for your concern you can get an ECG and upload to rule out heart issues.
These palpitations are also common with hypothyroidism, if you have irregular menstruation, get complete thyroid profile.
Consult for any query.
