Q: Is it normal for my heart to be skipping 2-3 beats per minute?

I'm a 15 year old girl. Yes, It's really late but I just noticed this a half hour ago and it's freaking me out. I do have a partial murmur but I've always been told it was no big deal. Could I get Heart Disease or even heart failure because of these skips???

Probably not. mine does it from time to time and it feels like im dying. i spent tens of thousands of dollars getting tests done and they all came back negative. My heart just skipped three times earlier. thats why im on this site. I guess its just something you have to live with but you should always let your doctor decide and if he says its ok then try to ignore it.
