Hello, After going through your medical query I understand your concern and would like to tell you that skipped heartbeat for 4 sec is a significant pause in heart conduction which should be managed to avoid any unpleasant cardiac events. It's recommended for you to get a Holder done for a minimum of 48 hours and consult an electrophysiologist for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
